Server Side Includes vs. Frames

[Mr Initial Man]

Well, I've run into a minor problem with my website.

I tried to set up a Server Side Include, and I followed all the steps right.

So, I uploaded it onto the host, went to check the file, and SURPRISE! My host will not support an shtml file.

*Sighs.*

I know, everyone is adamant that SSIs are so much better than frames.

But what do you do when server side inserts don't work, and frames do?

Does your server support php? If it does you can use a php include.

Just like soccer says does your host support any server side languages such as php, asp, asp.net etc. As most server side langugaes can include data.

By all of the steps, do you mean that you've added the lines:

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

to the .htaccess file?

I use a free host (Furnation) so I don't have access to the .htaccess file.

I've tried contacting Nexxus, but he hasn't answered my emails yet.

UPDATE:

Well, my host WILL let me use a .php file. With .shtml I got an error message saying "Rejected by URLscan" or whatever

:confused: Try creating one yourself and then place it in your home directory. It's a simple text file...
