Uuuh,  try making BOTH files u+x:

	chmod u+x the_file.html
	chmod u+x DocumentRoot/lastmod.inc

that's if you're using the -DXBITHACK mods to indicate that the files
are to be parsed.

The alternative is to add the directive

   XBitHack Full

to the .htaccess governing these pages, or more globally

   XBitHack Full

in the conf/access.conf

Then again you could tell the server that .inc files are really like
.shtml files (I don't use this notation but it's a directive to indicate
that the server should parse these files) in srm.conf

   AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .shtml

As ever:

   #ifdef ANDY_ISNT_TALKING_CACK

which on current form is very unlikely.


You know, this could probably be the start of another compatibility note,
Brian?

Cheers,
Ay
