Calling SSI

[syanet]

I think I remeber reading somewhere that you can't use SSI to include a file form another site. Is that true and how do get around it?

Yes.

You can't include a file from another site with SSI. Only files on your own server.

However CF and PHP have functions that let you do this. I can only assume ASP does. Perl probably does too. So you can do it. Just not with SSI. SSI is server side includes. You want to do a remote file include.

Techinally the file is on the same server. I'm running a small free web host and want the users to include an SSI file that would call the advertisment. What would be the easiest way to do this?

This has been asked and answered before on these forums. Try searching for it using keywords.

Its not using SSI. Its something with the configuration of the web server.

You may have more luck asking in the server support forum
