If the file is in the same directory, you would want to specify:
<!--#include virtual="./footer.html"--> . The ./ refers to the current
directory. / alone refers to the root directory. You might also be
running into server issues, like SSI being disabled, or not configured
appropriately for your usage. SSI may restricted to a specific directory.
Those questions are better directed to your hosting company or to an apache
related news group.
But first of all, stick to the path you are on, and just fix the path. (A
little geek humour!)
