Erb and rhtml templates?

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.
