Hi, im trying to install the program with the template dusk 3 set but nothing to do, it don't work. In fact i dont want to change a lot of things but what happens is that in the default-index page the latest headlines dont appears and also the categories. When i post an article an see a prewiuv in the article editor, everything is fine but in the reality..... nothing to do.
It's possible that i dont havbe SSI in the server?
Please SOS!!!!!!!
Thank you

Since the Boys and Girls in Vancouver are snuggled in their beds, dreaming of ways to impove Artman, and since you JUST posted this, here's a test to see if SSI is working. When Dave et al wake-up, maybe they can offer better ideas...
In the root directory of your server (where index.html usually goes), Create a file named my.shtml (the "s" in ".shtml" could be important!!! See details, later.).
In it, put something simple, like:
<html><body><!--#include file="myssi.html"--></body></html>
Notice that there is only ONE SPACE in the entire line above. There can be NO SPACE between the "<!--" and the "#". If there is, it won't work!!!
Now, create a file named myssi.html, and put the following in it:
<h1>Goodbye, world!</h1>
Next, type in the URI in your browser, and see what comes-up. For example:
http://www.yourdomain.com/my.shtml
If you see Goodbye, World on your screen, your server parses SSI. If not, you need to talk with your host admin to see what gives.
Points to remember:
1. Your server needs to be configured to allow SSI. This configuration is a part of the server set-up, and there's probably not a lot you can do if your host Admin has it turned off.
2. Historically, the extension for files which use includes is .shtml. This, again, is configurable by the server Admin. But most go with what history has taught us.
3. While whitespace in many places of html syntax is ignored, this is one place where there can NOT be a space (or tab, or formfeed, or...) between in the "<!--#include" portion of the statement!!! This one is that usually gets people.
Try that out, and get back to us.
Your SSI education can begin at:

Type SSI in the search box at the top right portion of the screen, and enjoy the results!
