SSI virtual/exec issues?

[a_calder]

I can't seem to get SSIs to work properly on my account... that or I am doing something incorrectly.

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a PHP script that contains all of the information for the navigation on my page. That way I use 1 script for all of the nav on my site. I pass a variable to the script so that it knows what page it is on, and shows the correct navigation state.

In order to invoke the script I have been trying:

 <!--#include virtual="/inc/nav.php" -->

All I get is the same error:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Do I need something enabled on my account or am I doing something wrong?

What file extension does the page with the include have?

Since you're actually seeing an SSI generated error message, it looks like the SSI part is OK.

What about the file you're trying to include. Does it exist? Does it exist in the place the webserver is looking for it (i.e. is URL/path for that file correct)?

You're including a PHP file. Could there be an error in the PHP script? If the PHP script fails you will probably get a error such as that.

In any case, have a look in your error log file. Apache should log something there to indicate why the include failed. If it's a problem with the PHP script, turn on some debuggin then check the error log again.
