I can't have SSI in my subdirectories according to my hosting company unless I enter in a few lines of code into the .htaccess file. Simple right, you open it in vi, then edit, and save! Yay it's working, but it's not working. I tried to alter the /var/www/html/ .htaccess file, but it doesn't work. I am not sure why it does because I have tried putting the lines of before and after their code. Then again, there are several other .htaccess files I could edit, but that doesn't make since either. I sent them a message about this, and I will expect an answer in 3-7 days. *roll* Granted, it's not like my page is credit sheerly on SSI, but I do use it for a few simple scripts like the date, time, and modification date.

Anyone have a clue?

This is the lines of code I am to enter:

AddType text/html .shtml 
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml 
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*


order deny,allow
