Re: [Plug] quick apache question

[adam <adam@looney.com>]

I am using not cgi but .shtml
in my ~public_html file
resides a file called
".htaccess"
in this file I put
DirectoryIndex index.shtml
Of course, my buddy upgraded apache
and forgot to add SSI support, so my
page looks like hell right now :)
