.asp include files

[rose-red]

Help! I can't get my .asp include files to work! I followed Vicki Old's tutorial exactly, and uploaded to my website, but... just a blank screen. Each include file loads fine, but the main page (template) doesn't. Where am I going wrong?

Does the server support ASP?
Is the file extension .asp?

You will need to make sure your hosting provider has .asp enabled on your site, we turn on both asp and aspx on our hosting servers to ensure compatibility with customers applications. If you are getting a blank browser page then it sounds oike asp is not enabled. Ask you hosting provider about this, they would be able to tell you whether or not your site has what you need to run asp or not.

also the file that has the includes would need to have the .asp extension, it you are trying to do a virtual asp include and using html or html as the extension it will not work, because those file types do not support active server scripting.

Thanks guys. Yes, the file extensions are all .asp. I'm checking whether the
host has .asp enabled on my site.

Well, the answer is No, I'm on a Linux server, I'd need to move to a Windows server to get asp support. Is there any way of using include files with Linux?

If they run Linux then they should support PHP.


It's similar to ASP.

There is an intro to PHP I wrote for DesignerToday.com.
