include virtual with parent

[sanjaysk]

In a .shtml file in a subfolder, I can't get the following to work:

<!--#include virtual="../includes/wftop.htm"-->

If I were to replace it with an absolute path, what would that be? Will it work?

Is the only solution copying the whole includes again within the subfolder?

Thanks,
Sanjay

Have you turned on Server Side Includes from Web Options?

I don't know if you can have ".." in include statements. Try entering the absolute path. format is as follows:

D:\hshome\ftproot\domainame.com\

ftproot is your ftp username

You are right. ".." does not work. But, I could make it to work by giving "/includes/" which is within domainname.com.

Well, the ".." means you need to have parent paths enabled. *passes ball to Yash*

If you have include virtual it starts from the root anyways...

Let me know the domain and the server and I'll have parent paths enabled on it.
