Yes, SSI and Apache are a close knit family :-)  Out of the default Apache
install in 1.3.x (including 1.3.12), just create your virtual host record,
like this:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1>
	ServerAdmin	somebody@somedomain.com
	DocumentRoot	/home/somebody/public_html/
	ServerName	www.somedomain.com
	ServerAlias	somedomain.com

<Directory "/home/somebody/public_html/">
	AllowOverride	None
	Options		Includes
	Order		allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Also of use in Options is IncludesNoExec, which allows SSI, but not the
potentially insecure #exec cgi and #exec cmd.

Name your files with the extension .shtml or .shtm, or SSI won't work.

SSI will not work within CGI output.

Make sure your directives are keyed correctly (spaces are important! SSI
is *very* picky). This works:

<!--#include virtual="filename" -->


These (and some others) do NOT:

<!-- #include virtual="filename" --> IS WRONG
<!--# include virtual="filename" --> IS WRONG
<!--#include virtual="filename"--> IS WRONG


Load your pages in a browser. Are your directives still there? Or did they
get parsed?

Hope this helps.

Virtually yours,
- Ryan
