Simple Server Includes Malfunctioning

**Ruined1** · 08-13-2009, 10:12 PM

Server: IIS 5.1 (XPpro)
SSI extensions: .shtm, .shtml, .html
Perl Installed
PHP Installed

I seem to be running into an issue with my Index.html. I can make a call to save a value through a download counter script written in PERL. (Highlighted in Red) It correctly saves the needed information everytime a download link is clicked.

However,

When I make a call to this value to retrieve it, I get HTTP 404 Not Found in place of the value Im expecting to be displayed. (Highlighted in Blue)

Index.html

Code:

<html>
<body bgcolor="black" link="Blue" vlink="Blue" alink="White">
<font color="Cyan">

Can you get any SSI to work? Try something simple for now, just a text file in the webroot and see if your SSi tag can fetch that and print it properly. I doubt the problem has anything to do with perl though, its probably a IIS issue.

Is the #include directive being displayed when you visit that page with a browser? If so then SSI is definitely not enabled or configured for .html extensions.
