I am trying to insert an SSI directive to texis into an HTML page and get the following error:

Content-Type: text/html
Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright © 1996-2000 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Commercial Version 3.01.977332554 of Dec 20, 2000 (i686-intel-winnt)

Error
015 Incorrect installation: program/URL path must contain `texis'

The SSI looks like this:



Does texis support SSI calls to it?

SSI is not generally recommended because of the extra overhead in exec'ing and parsing.

Also, the CGI environment in which Vortex is run must have the standard environment variables set as expected, eg. PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, SCRIPT_NAME so Vortex can properly generate URLs for $url. SCRIPT_NAME was probably set unexpectedly, resulting in this message; it is expected to be something like '/cgi-bin/texis.exe' or '/cgi-bin/texis'.

Yeah, I know there is a bunch of overhead with SSI.

Basically I want to place some news content from Texis into our HTML home page. The HTML is fairly long and complex so I didn't want to throw all that into vortex. Also, I didn't want to use a redirect from the home page to a vortex script at another URL.

Any ideas?
thanks
