Erb and rhtml templates?

Ruby
1

I’ve got a website w/ lunarpages, and I’ve been using erb to do some
things w/ my pages. Everything has worked well so far.

My problem is, my main pages each call in header and footer templates,
but I can’t figure out how to get the server to evaluate the templates
if they are .rhtml files w/ embedded ruby code.

I’ve tried:

<% require ‘erb’
def import_erb path
ERB.new(File.read(path)).result()

or ERB.new(File.read(path), nil, nil, ‘x’).result()

end
%>

and then

<%= import_erb(‘footer.rhtml’) %>

But I get a ‘500 internal server error’. If I leave out the .result
call, there’s no problem. I wonder if it’s lunarpages or my fault.

Figure out where your server sticks your error*log file (either
error.log or
error_log) and tail it. You must start with the actual error message!

Actually, that is from the error log. It is no more informative than
that.
