Hey, I have never used SSI before, and I want to know what I have to do in order to make sure it works right.
I saw some stuff that talked about how you need to use .shtml, but then I saw something else that said you can avoid using .shtml by editing the .htaccess file. I would rather just use .html, but I will change my file extensions if I need to.
I saw some other things about some files you need to edit, or software you need to make sure is installed, but none of it was very clear.
What exactly do I need to do in order to use it?
All I really know is that in index.shtml I have this:
<!--#include file="/nav.htm"-->
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
(and a file called nav.htm in the same directory)
but it doesn't work.
