You don't have a /cgi-bin directory. Try using >include virtual instead. This was a desperate attempt! Upon additional reseacrh in the newsgroups, I have not found a single instance of someone getting the SSI "exec cmd" to work. However, I do find one claim of someone getting the SSI "exec cgi" to work: Subject: Re: Apache 1.3b3/Win32 SSI exec cmd ? From: flimflam@sham.org (DiE SpAm, DiE!) Date: 1997/11/30 Message-ID: <65qnvs$os5@snews3.zippo.com> Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows If you are calling a CGI, wether it be a Perl script or compiled .EXE, the best SSI call is such as: Works great for me, hope this helps!! Andrew I also see that someone added the following to PR#1721: >Fix: There is some logic in mod_include that does not execute the CMD but executes the .shtml file it came from. If I get further I will send the code to you. THANK YOU VERY MUC My question to you is: Do you have any concrete information that the SSI "exec cmd" works in the 1.3b3/win32 version of Apache? I.e., do you use it, or have you seen a report of someone using it? If so, I've got more playing around to do! If not, I think it doesn't work.
