Including executable are no longer allowed by default Apache configuration. Includes NO-EXEC is now the default, SSI includes are now disabled by default. This is done to prevent server abuse / insure server security. We recommend using PHP coding wherever possible. If using cgi includes is ABSOLUTELY necessary you may enable the includes via :
1. Create/edit the .htaccess file (you may find it within public_html folder) to permit the execution of CGI programs with the following options:
2. Enter the following:
Options +Includes +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
OR
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
OR
AddType text/html .htm .html .shtm .shtml .sht
AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html .shtml .sht .shtm
3. Save and Exit .
Done
