No, there was no error message. The SSI orders simply were not acted upon. All SSI orders, not just Includes. I observed this on my FreePages site, http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dav4is/ I did not check the L9PHS pages, but did check a SSI test page I had placed there a long time ago: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dav4is/test/test-ssi.html I find it suspicious that the errors began at 05:00 and ended at 05:30 (EDT). As if some sort of maintenance was going on, or a server restart with a delay in beginning the SSI support. -R. On 2010-10-25 17:51, Ralph Taylor wrote: > Rod wrote: "Just a few minutes ago.
