Hi:

You should not be double-clicking on the file. You should be using a http://
request, eg:

http://localhost/index.shtml

Server-side includes require the request to go through the webserver (hence
server-side includes). If you just double-click on it in Explorer, you're
just opening a file on your hard disk.

The fact that the extension is mapped to 404.dll indicates that you have run
the IISLockDown tool on your computer (this disables a lot of
uncommon/unused extensions). If you had done http://localhost/index.shtml
before, you should have received a 404 File Not Found error. Now that you've
mapped it to ssinc.dll you should received index.shtml.

If you still receive a 404, you may need to alter your URLScan.ini settings,
located in:
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\urlscan\urlscan.ini
to allow .shtml requests.

Cheers
Ken

: Thanks you Ken,
:
: In the "Mappings" tab there was "404.dll" instead of "ssinc.dll"
: I have changed it, but it still doesn't work! :-(( I have even restarted
IIS.
: Into the "Verb Limit to" I put "GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE". Is it ok ?
:
: Another thing: on the same PC I have IE 6.0 and Mozilla
: and when I change the index.html extension into .shtml the related icon
becomes the Mozilla one.
: As a matter of fact when I double click on index.shtml it opens Mozilla
instead of IE.
: Could it be a problem ?
:
: Anyway, in the previous mail you said: "...since asp.dll also can handle
#include directives"
: and I have seen that the mapping to .asp file is with asp.dll
: but even if I put the .asp extension it still doesn't work.

: ken!! help me please!
