Newbie needs help setting up SSI

Hello,
I'm new to Apache and am hoping someone can help me out. I've installed
the latest version of Apache for Win32 on Windows 2000 Professional
locally for both testing and learning, in D:/Apache Group/Apache. I've
followed the directions to enable SSI and I can't get it to work. (at
least I think I've followed the instructions by uncommenting AddHandler
cgi-script .cgi, AddType text/html .shtml
and  AddHandler server-parsed .shtml. Like I said, I'm new to Apache and
in the process of learning it on Windows 2000.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott Andersen

Hi,

Actually, the cgi-script part has nothing to do with SSI, it has another
purpose.

Anyway, you don't provide enough information about what "you can't get it
work".  But you can try it by inspect one or more of these questions:

1. Do you have your html filenames end with .shtml?
2. Do you have Includes entry in Options directive in
   <Directory /path/to/ssi/directory>...</Directory> directive?
3. Do you have Options entry in AllowOverride directive so you
   can put Options Includes in htaccess file?
4. Do you have index.shtml entry in DirectoryIndex directive?
5. Do you use SSI syntax in html files correctly?
6. Do your check your error log file?

Please be more descrictive.
