[Xitami] can't run "exec" from shtml

[Jim Brown]

Hi Jill,

   Are you running any other CGI's successfully???  If not I'd check that
   you enabled the ENV variable SSI_INSECURE or config...

[Security]
    Ssi_insecure=yes

Ref: http://www.imatix.com/html/xitami/index6.htm#TOC64

> #exec cmd="command"
>    
> Executes a native command and includes the output of this command. Note that
>     the command runs in the main Xitami directory. This SSI command - which is a
>     potential security risk for your system - is only accepted if the environment
>     variable SSI_INSECURE is set to 'yes'. (Under Windows NT, in the System Control
>     Panel, under 'Environment'; under Windows 95 by adding 'SET SSI_INSECURE=yes'
>     to the autoexec.bat.)



                                         Best Regards,
                                              Jim

I have an index.shtml file in my default webpages dir.  It contains one
line:

   <!--#exec cmd="./cgi-bin/ip2block.exe"-->

I know ip2block.exe is accessible and works.  I can run it directly from my
browser.  I have even tried a full reference to the exe

   <!--#exec cmd="http://192.x.x.x/cgi-bin/ip2block.exe"-->

In every case I get the same response

        p>[xitami SSI Error: ]

which I recognize as Xitami's default SSI error message.  However, the %s is
blank (no error message).  The access log shows the file being accessed
successfully, and the error log shows nothing.

Anyone know how to track down this problem?  Thanks very much.

Jill
