Including executables are no longer allowed by default apache configuration. IncludesNOEXEC 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 +ExecCGIAddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
OR
AddType text/html .shtmlAddHandler server-parsed .shtmlOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
3. Save .htaccess file.
