Just a heads up for anyone stuck on SSI:
When using #include virtual or #exec cgi for server side includes, don't use a full url path or even the full server path. Host Monster sites seem to include the base server path when parsing the include.
Example:
To display the result of a cgi script that is in your cgi-bin, simply use:
<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/myscript.cgi"-->
I had a heck of a time with this, as my last host required full paths, and I thought that was standard. I could not find any information in the "Knowledge Base", in fact, I can't find much of anything in there. HM should really populate that with questions they answer through the tech support line. It would save them a bundle of money and headaches!
If this information was readily available somewhere else, please point me to it. I would like to save my Tech Support time for actual emergency situations.
