In the multi-user environment, if you are reading the Apache
materials you might also want to closely follow the parts regarding the
security issues involved with SSI. I think they may overstate the overt
hole that SSI represents, but still it is not something to be activated
lightly, especially if your understanding of the webserver execution and
operation environment is limited.

I would change the suffix of /cgi-bin/footers.html to something
such as .sh or .cgi, to avoid confusion ("Is this a web page, or is it a
script?") The distributed srm.conf that comes in the
standard apache distribution has a commented out section that essentially
restates the above AddHandler, with some supporting comments. Actually,
some of the best documentation for the server is in those files, as they
are extensively commented througout. The aforementioned
www.apache.org site also has a great deal of information, though be sure
you are looking at the correct version of the docs for the release you
have in service.
