when I change htaccess I get "some files can harm your computer"

I'm doing fine with the file with the .php extention, but still no luck with the .html extentions. Going to get a Christmas tree tonight...work more on this later.

 

Gibson, the message you are seeing is due to the fact that your sever probably has SSI enabled in httpd.conf. Basically, unless they will turn that off for your site, you will not be able to parse your .htm and .html files as php with the AddHandler in your .htaccess file.

If your ISP cannot turn SSI (Server Side Includes) in httpd.conf then you have a few options:

1) Use the SHTML setup in the Coop instructions. Just use SSI to include the php files
2) rename all of your pages to .php (not a great alternative probably)
3) use the perl implementation, but I think the SSI/SHTML setup should work fine for you

 

Well, this provokes a bunch of additional questions. I'll start by contacting my host.

 

I would just start by using one of the SSI's in the setup instructions. You already have the ad_network files on your machine right? Throw this into a page and see if the ads show:

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

 

interesting point all that should be visible by cpanel is


User Defined Handlers
.htm application/x-httpd-php
.shtml application/x-httpd-php
System Defined Handlers
.cgi .plcgi-script
.shtmlserver-parsed

works perfectly for me

Hi Gibson,
I had the same issue as you and changed the .htaccess file and managed to get rid of the message that pops up but the ads do not pop up. I am talking to my host and once i get an answer I will let you know. You can review my thread to get idea what another forum user has recommended. The thread is at:

I'll keep you posted.

It sounds like you guys may be on to something, but unfortunately, I'm not getting it. Here is how my cpanel is set now:

User Defined Handlers
htm application/x-httpd-php
System Defined Handlers
.cgi .pl cgi-script
.php .php3 .php4 .phtml .phps x-httpd-php
.shtml server-parsed

With this config the ads don't show with this included in my html page:

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

How should I change it?

 

you're mixing apples and pears

<!--#include virtual="/ad_network.php" --> is ssi (server side included)
for that to work you need to change

User Defined Handlers
htm application/x-httpd-php to
.htm server-parsed

For plain php to work on htm or html pages it's

User Defined Handlers
htm application/x-httpd-php to
.htm x-httpd-php
.html x-httpd-php

or .htm .html x-httpd-php

The dot is important!!!!
I'd advise to use plain php if you later wat to add more dynamics etc

SUCCESS!!!

Thanks to everyone. Now on to site number 2
