[Xitami] SSI #exec ?'s

[Euman]

Hello,
Im new to this list.

Would someone please direct me to a safe redirect script.

I have specified index.shtml to initiate when my page is first loaded
index.shtml contains the following line:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/load"-->
/cgi-bin/load contains the following that starts a script from an interpreter.
#! /usr/bin/ex load.ex
but I get this output in my browser:
[xitami SSI: #exec command not permitted for security reasons;] 
I have checked Permit SSI #exec command?  

Im using Xitami v2.5b5 I also encoutered this message from
Xitami Crash Recovery Dialog
09/Apr/2002:18:11:23 -0500 Xitami v2.5b5
Abort at xixssi:33: (9, 28)

I thought I would ask before sending this message to Xitami.

Thanks very much,
Euman
