<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/my.cgi"--> is disabled in IIS5 for security resons if it is left on it CAN be POSIBLE to format your sever from milisous code. <!--#EXEC CMD="cmd /c format c:"--> or something like that for more infor look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q203064 and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q233969
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/my.cgi"--> is doing exactly what it is suposed to do the virtual stands for the directory for example: http://orpc.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/env.pl the Virtual directory is /cgi-bin/env.pl and can be referenced from any page from any directory. But the virtual directory is always from the root of the web sever. but it will alwas display the text and not what you want. it was designed for (and works really well in) ASP. Unfortunealy I have not found a way to include a perl cgi in side a page yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Holstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 3:07 AM Subject: Re: Newbie - #include virtual in my .SHTML file just displays the contents of the CGI > Dale W wrote: > > > > If I run the script from my browser, it works great.
