Simple Ssi Command Not Working...

[Dark Angel]

Hello. I've been using SSI include commands for a long time and never had any problems with them. Now I want to use the CGI script called Poll It, which like the name says, is made to build my own polls.

 

Now I need to use the following command in order to include the poll in my shtml pages: <!--#exec cgi="http://www.adnddownloads.com/poll_it/Poll_It_SSI_v2.05.cgi" -->

 

As you can see on my test page: http://www.adnddownloads.com/design/ , the script won't load.

 

Is there anything special I have to do? (yes, my files have the right CHMOD)

Try this instead:

 

<!--#exec cgi="/poll_it/Poll_It_SSI_v2.05.cgi" -->

 

It should work then.

ok, thanks! I'll it later tonight and tell you if it works or not.

Thanks a lot Mike! It worked perfectly! It's strange that entering the whole URL makes the command crash. I guess it's codded in a way it always start search the file to be included from the main directory...

 

Anyway, thanks!

 

Las thing, if anyone need a good poll script, Poll-It works perfectly. But I had to edit some parts of the code because it included "endlines" at random places for a strange reason.

Dark Angel, in the code supplied, the very first / tells it to look from the root directory. From what I understand of shtml (that isn't very much, I'm a php gal =) ) the full URL is not allowed due to security issues.

Sounds logic to me... Thanks! I better read carefully next time...
