I cannot remember. It was set up by the client. She switched to Bellsouth b/c Intermedia was sticking it to her on price. WHY she chose Bellsouth I will never know.

I told her to tell them to switch it over to the windows version since she has an asp form in her site.

If she has asked me in the first place, i would have told to pick the windows version.

If she is using ASP and it works, it's probably IIS.
There are ways to make ASP work on other platforms, but not many hosting envs use it.
It could be that the SSI included file is not being found due to the change in file system layout, although it looks like you're just trying to load it from the current directory.

It could also be that they're not using apache and whatever they're using doesn't support SSI.

If I remember correctly, some servers want virtual instead of file in the include statement with root path to the file.

File looks like (from above):



Virtual looks like (with my made up path):



I do like this way better since all paths are "downhill" from the domain root, the file method doesn't allow for the ../ convention in relative paths.

I also use the .shtml suffix for my include files so the server processes them before including them; I haven't reset the footer copyright year manually in ages.

It could be a lot of things.
The OP doesn't give a lot of details.
