Problems with php include and .shtml pages

[jamjv]

Hello,

First time poster long time browser.

I've set it up on another site and it worked great but for some strange reason it won't show the ads on www.buycollectablesonline.com.

All pages are .shtml and it does support php.
http://www.buycollectablesonline.com/test.php


I created the ad_network.php and the ad_network_ads.txt and set the permissions to 777.

I added this to the pages.

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

As you can see when you view the source you dont see the php script or the <!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" --> code.

When I few the source via ftp i can see the <!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" --> so it seems to be not parsing the php.

The weird thing is when i renamed the php file and refreshed the page I would come up with an internal server error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Try

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

instead of
<!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" -->


and move the ad_network.php out of the /inc folder into the root
same with the txt file

Yeah I already tried that but it didn't work. The txt files is getting data if that helps.

Do your SSI includes work anyway?

If your not sure use this

Last modified: <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

which should insert a line into your page showing the date the file was modified
(assuming your using apache)

Also try making a file called emm.... testads.php
put in it

<?php
readfile('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php');
?>

save it to the root
call it from your browser
i.e. www.yourdomain.com/testads.php

you should see a page with an ad on it

Yes the SSI includes are working fine and I ran that test and the ads show.
