Doing admin on a webserver with no unix or webserver configuration 
experience?  Whatever bravado or foolishness has overcome you, shake 
it off now and start reading up.

(man vi and/or get the pocket vi guide ISBN 0-916151-54-9 if you're 
unfamiliar, which I suspect)

You're server needs to know that .htm is included in the text/html 
mime type, text/plain is the the typical default mime type so unknown 
extensions such as htm will get treated as text/plain unless you 
explicitly set it otherwise.  Add it with the AddType directive 
(NCSA/Apache anyway) or edit you mime.types file (again, NCSA/Apache) 
-- non-Apache/NCSA servers support this as well but the method of 
configuring it will vary.
