I am using a perl script that is installed in many sub directories off the www root. Each copy is identical (copied using linux cp command and all ownership permissions are identical plus they are all chmod 755) and is called via a SSI. Directory A, B, C all work fine but D,E and F give me "an error occurred while processing this directive". The script runs fine from the command line but messes up when called with a browser.
Now I could understand if it was consistent, but it aint. How can the SSI work in one directory and not in another?
I am ready to pull my hair out right now - what little I have left!
Include "file" v. include "virtual" problem?
The following works when the file you want to include is in the same path as the calling document:
<!--#include file="filename.ext" -->
But if the include file needs to be called from another path, you need to use:
<!--#include virtual="/other_path/filename.ext" -->
Thanks for the response. I think its a server problem - something to do with using suexec. I pulled it from the config and all the scripts started working okay. Apparently, suexec has a strict set of rules and if you violate them then you get the dreaded "Premature end of script headers" message and the whole thing bombs.
