Thanks for the suggestion of using EMBPERL_OBJECT_ADDPATH. Unfortunately, I've tried that and it doesn't work.
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs/mybookprices DirectoryIndex index.html ErrorLog logs/error_log TransferLog logs/access_log EMBPERL_APPNAME mybookprices EMBPERL_SESSION_HANDLER_CLASS no EMBPERL_DEBUG 0 EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0 EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16 EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl EMBPERL_OBJECT_FALLBACK notfound.html EMBPERL_OBJECT_STOPDIR /usr/local/apache/htdocs EMBPERL_OBJECT_ADDPATH /usr/local/apache/htdocs It appears that EMBPERL_OBJECT_ADDPATH cannot add a path that is not within DocumentRoot, even though base.epl AND notfound.html are outside DocumentRoot. So, if Apache servers up both of these files which are outside DocumentRoot, why won't it serve up content.hml with [-Execute ('*') -]. Also note, that [- Execute ('content.html') within base.epl WORKS! So, this leads me to believe it is a problem with ('*') which is asking for the file "indirectly" instead of explicitly.

If you want common base files for a lot of things then have a look at EMBPERL_OBJECT_ADDPATH I usually have this directory within the document tree but I don't think thats necessary (off the top of my head) -- Andrew O'Brien Senior Engineer email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Switch Online Group Pty Limited phone: +61 2 9299 1133 ABN 89 092 286 327 fax: +61 2 9299 1134 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
