How to set your server to use SSI
include

free content for your website
What a SSI Include Does
Basically you take this little snippet of
code <!--#include
virtual="/anything.htm" -->
and replace anything.htm with the page you want and the content of that
page will display on any page you want. This is great for inserting
content, menus, etc. Imagine needing to add a link to every page on
your site. If every page has this insert tag all you would have to do
is change the anything.htm or whatever you name it. Now the catch is
most web hosts are set to allow this automatically for shtml pages. To
get it to work on html pages you will probably have to either change it
yourself through cpanel or get your web host to do it for you. Most web
host like Bluehost
have cpanel for their customers to do tons of cool stuff to their
sites.
How to Set Your Server to use a SSI Include
You may have to ask your web
host to do it for you, but if you have a cpanel you should be able
to do it for yourself. Also note that most servers are set to use shtml
page automatically. Go to your cpanel or control panel and look for
a link that says Apache Handlers. Click on Apache Handlers. You'll see
a page that contains something like this.
| .htm |
server-parsed |
| .cgi .pl |
cgi-script |
| .php .php4 .php3 |
application/x-httpd-php |
| .shtml |
server-parsed |
Now put .htm or .html in the first extensions box,
and server-parsed in the handler box and click add. You're done. You
should be able to use SSI Includes on all your .html or .htm pages
now. The only thing to keep in mind is that now every page will be
parsed. It could slow the server down a hair, but I haven't had any
problems with it myself.
