INFO: Server Side Include Directives Not Processed by ASP

ID: Q172024

The information in this article applies to:

Active Server Pages
Microsoft Internet Information Server versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

When attempting to process a Server Side Include (SSI) directive within an Active Server Pages (ASP) file, the only directive type that will be processed is the #INCLUDE directive. Other directives such as #EXEC are not supported by ASP.

MORE INFORMATION

If the page containing your source code has a file extension of .asp, then it will be processed by Asp.dll. Asp.dll and Ssinc.dll do not interact; therefore, SSI directives will not be processed by Ssinc.dll. The only SSI directive that will be processed by Asp.dll is the #INCLUDE directive.
