Discuss "Server Side Includes .stm file error" in the HTML & CSS Help forum.

Hey everyone its Peeb, I got a little problem with a site I'm moving from production to development. It is a .stm files with includes of .htm files.

I'm not familiar with .stm files, but when I moved the .stm file to development I get an "Error processing SSI file" error message. Obviously something is wrong with it processing the includes.

Does anyone know anything about this error or what I can do about this error? Not much is online about this.

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.

are you using include virtual or include file? are parent paths enabled in IIS?

Its just a regular include file, here and example:

I spoke with our network team, they don't like to have parent path enabled in IIS for security reason, so its not on.

Should they have parent paths enabled for includes?

And thanks for the reply.

in order to use include file you need parent paths enabled. however, you can change it to include virtual and you should be okay.

Thanks, now if I change it to virtual, will the network team still need parent path on or no?

no they won't

Thanks I'll try that, thanks for the help.
