[thelist] SSI file parsing issues, IIS 4.0

evolters,

I'm experiencing "issues" with server-side include files not parsing on a
server running IIS 4.0. The situation is the following:

I have one Web site set up in IIS that uses an IP address not accessible
outside our firewall and is used for internal testing purposes. The site has
a number of include files with a .inc extension. I configured the
Application Mappings for the site so that .inc files are executed with the
ssinc DDL. The include file virtual paths are all based on a virtual
directory. Everything works well and all the include files get parsed.

Now today we set up another site on the server, this time with an IP address
that is accessible outside our firewall, for the client to view the site.
The configuration of this site is ostensibly the same as the one that works,
and it points to the same files, but on this site the include files are not
parsed. When you view the source of the page, you see all the include file
comment lines, such as <!--#include virtual="/site/includes/header.inc" -->.

What's up with that? What should I be looking for?

Thanks,

--Ben
