Heya
I'm having a slight disagreement with my webserver and it's winning. I've put an .htaccess file with CODE AddHandler server-parsed .html added to it. However, it still won't display my little SSI.So, the question is, am I doing something wrong again, or doesn't Windows allow you to change the file, or does it just ignore the file? Thank you in advance

Hi!
So are you using Apache or IIS on the windows server? IIS doesn't use .htaccess files, which may be your problem. Rich -------------------- |

I've just found it, and it's bad news for me.Microsoft Server Win2003/IIS 6.0 managed by Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers Should I be throwing myself on the floor screaming/kicking/flailing/crying yet? I did try to create a php include, named the page index.php and it wasn't happy. I got scared and went back to something that I knew worked before... only to have it pitch a fit! Is this really bad??!!?? Do I need to get the helmet out of the bag??

I try to avoid Windows servers as much as I can. One reason is that they usually don't support .htaccess.
I'd try to migrate to a descent Linux server

Nothing wrong with Windows servers. Just a different environment than linux. If you're trying to get PHP working on IIS server, you may find this usefull: http://www.iis.net/php

QUOTE Do I need to get the helmet out of the bag?? Well, not just yet, but keep it close! So, you're basically trying to make OJ by squeezing lemons. IIS doesn't natively support PHP, which is why you can't include() the file. As for the <!-- #include -->, you may not have ASP turned on, which is why it's not working? I haven't used IIS or ASP in years. What's the story? Is this on your local machine or is this on a host somewhere? Rich -------------------- |

However, to be honest, it appears to be way to advanced for me to try to set up right now! I'm a total beginner and I'd get into serious trouble if I messed up the server for the site. My boss would string me up, even if he is my brother in law!!

Usually if you need just php (mysql) it's better to go with linux/apache and if you plan to go with asp(.net) (ms sql server) then choose windows. I've had also some problems with iis/php combination so choose the platform based on what you need.
