Problem with virtual()

[keefe007]

I moved a new site to my server that uses the php virtual() function. I'm running apache2 and php5 on this server. For some reason none of the virtual() calls are working.

 

Here's the error from a sample call:

 

 

Warning: virtual() [function.virtual]: Unable to include '/virtual/include/header/'' - request execution failed in /home/haymasters/domains/domain.com/public_html/index2.php on line 6

 

I've narrowed the problem down to this:

 

<?php virtual("/test/"); ?> - doesn't work

 

<?php virtual("/test/index.html"); ?> - works fine

 

I have another server running Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.x and both of these work fine on that server.

 

Why isn't apache2/php5 able to fine the index file and include it?

 

Thanks!

I've actually narrowed this down a bit more. I think its an apache2 issue now.

 

<!--#include virtual="/test/"--> - doesn't work

<!--#include virtual="/test/index.html"--> - works fine

 

any ideas?

I did, however, I didn't see anything there to solve the problem.

Virtual is like include() or require(). I think you need to supply a specific file not an entire directory.

Virtual sends the request to apache just like #include virtual in HTML.
