Hello
Now that I have the home page feature listings working, http://www.bcbesthomes.com/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html, How to I make this page come up when some one types in the url for the index page?

Hi jrhenry36,
Just to clarify - did you want that page to display when people visit www.bcbesthomes.com? If so, the easiest way to do this is to create a file called "index.shtml" that only has a Server Side Include within it which would bring in that featured search results page. If you need more specifics on this, let us know.

Jake,
Yes I want this to be my index page. I have made a .shtml page but it doesn't show. Not sure what include file to put in the page. It's on a windows server.
Thanks

Hi jrhenry36,
I'm not sure what the directory path is on your server, so this code may not work, but try adding in this line to your index.shtml file:
<!--#exec cgi="/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" -->
Hopefully that will get this working.

Not too sure how the code should look on the index.shtml. Do I just put the <!--#exec cgi="/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" --> by itself on the page or do I use all of the code for my exiting index page?

Hi jrhenry36,
That line by itself in that file is all you need.

 Sorry Jake,
I must be missing something. I have put that file on the shtml page and nothing comes up. Any chance on showing me what the code for the whole page should look like?

Hi there,
That will be the code for the whole page. However, depending on your server config and the paths to your files, it might vary a bit.
Try this:
<!--#include virtual="/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" -->
Usually the "exec cgi" code is required for Windows servers, but maybe yours doesn't allow that. If this doesn't work either, you may want to doublecheck with your hosting provider and ask if Server Side Includes are enabled.

Hello Donna
I'm using just this code on the page, <!--#include virtual="/exec/search.cgi?search=1&lfield25_keyword=yes&template=_featured_results.html" --> , no html or body tags and I'm saving the file as index.shtml. The server is configured to accept server side includes, but the exec folder is not in the cgi-bin. The path above is the correct one to the search.cgi file. I still can't see the page and get a 404 error.   I know it has to be something small too.
