<!--include files - help

[Mark]

Im trying to use the "includes" on an asp file
I have one file called services.asp and i've included a footer on this page
as
PageBot.asp

they are both in the root of the site but it doesn't include the contents of
PageBot.asp

if I view source on services.asp, it has this at the bottom of the page
<!--#include virtual="pageBot.asp"-->
when in fact it should include the footer html

I've tried using 'file' and 'virtual' on the includes bit but it still
doesn't work

it works locally but not on the server,
I think the live environment is running apache

to view it have a look here
http://www.ais2000.co.uk/test.asp

footer can be seen on this page

Is it being including dynamically or statically?

Well, Apache doesn't run ASP out of the box... have you verified that some
ASP emulator is present? Otherwise your ASP will be processed as HTML/plain
text and that #include directive will just be a comment.

Have you checked the log files to see what is being requested and the
response?

That sounds like the ASP isn't getting processed.

Do you know what ASP emulator it's running? Apache doesn't do ASP
natively, so you may have problems there.
