SSI Question - Subdomain accessing main domain.

[phluidphil]

I keep running into a little snafu with my website, trying to condense the header/footers and sidebars into a nice tidy 3 files instead of the code in multiple pages for my main and subdomains. With that.. here is my question.

I have a SSI snipet that includes a header file, however this header is not pulled when the visitor hits the subdomain website, only the main domain website.

called from subdomain (does not work)
#include file="/home/username/public_html/header2.html"

called from main domain (works fine)
#include virtual="./header2.html"

(I've flip flopped virtual and file, but I have been unable to get it to properly pull the header file).

Is this possible?

thanks.

Try this. You may have left part of the include off by accent but what you posted above won't work at all. The following will work with a folder below root. I don't know about a subdomain. You might need to do an absolute path instead of a relative path.

<--!#include file="./file name/header2.html" -->

yeah, I purposely left off the begining and ending brackets because I did not know if the forum would accept that through as code or not.

./ did not work, I'm probably going to ask support because I've even googled and I see all sorts of lil'hacks people have done.

Just curious if this has popped up before. I'm sure it has.

well I created a ticket, basically there is no way to do it when you specify a subdomain address like subdomain.maindomain.com, instead you have to use www.mydomain.com/subdomain and then it will work properly.

anyways, did that and it appears to work just fine.

OMG!!!

You guys are still using SSI?

I use a mix of that and php.. why?
