On Fri, 25 Oct 2002 at 12:11, Al Hospers opined: have you looked at apache's documentation for mod_include?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html AH:the cgi works fine when called in the browser as a url, here: AH: AH:http://66.186.192.77/cgi-bin/quotes/quotemaster.cgi? AH: AH:but when I embed it in the HTML it won't display. if I look at the AH:source AH:that comes back I see something like: AH: AH:<div align="center" class="quotesHeader">Quotes From the Edge</div> AH:<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="Arial"> AH:[an error occurred while processing this directive] AH:</font> what is put in the httpd error log when this occurs? that information could be valuable. AH:here are the two methods I have tried: AH: AH:1) as a include in a shtml file: AH: AH:<div align="center">Quotes From the Edge</div> AH:<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="Arial"> AH:<!--#include AH:virtual="http://66.186.192.77/cgi-bin/quotes/quotemaster.cgi"--> AH:</font> from the mod_include documentation: Note that the comment terminator (-->) should be preceded by whitespace to ensure that it isn't considered part of an SSI token. AH:2) as an exec in an shtml file AH: AH:<div align="center">Quotes From the Edge</div> AH:<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1" face="Arial"> AH:<!--#exec cgi="http://66.186.192.77/cgi-bin/quotes/quotemaster.cgi?"--> AH:</font> from the mod_include documentation: The include virtual element should be used in preference to exec cgi. In particular, if you need to pass additional arguments to a CGI program, using the query string, this cannot be done with exec cgi, but can be done with include virtual, as shown here: <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/example.cgi?argument=value" --> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
