I have gone through this article a dozen (literally) times and all of the suggestions in this discussion and *still* cannot get the .shtml to work properly. If I target it specifically, it works, so I know that it is able to process SSI (correct?). The problem is, when I swap out the .html with the modified .shtml, I get the default Apache page with the "Not seeing the page you expected..." message. What gives? I have dumped my cache (it is set to never cache and has 0MB assigned to the file). I have stopped and started Apache. I have made sure that I was adding 'Include' to the proper directory. I even went in to DirectoryIndex and added 'index.shtml' before 'index.html'! I really do not know where to go from here. I have gone so far as to try editing the ...conf.default page; add 'Includes' to my user file; and any other outside option I ran across. I know this should not be as difficult as it is, but for whatever reason it is. I am brand new to doing any of this, but what could I be missing? I even tested the .conf for errors and got the 'Syntax ok' approval. Please offer any suggestion you may have. I will greatly and definitely appreciate them. Regards, Craig

  No chance to find the answer in the article. -
  It's here:
  Search for
  
  'DirectoryIndex index.html'
  
  add 'index.shtml'
  so it reads
  
  'DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml'

  sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  # DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
  # directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
  #
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml default.html default.shtml index.php index.cgi
  </IfModule>
  that should get about any default page working.

  I certainly had the same error, but adding index.shtml didn't help. It works as 127.0.0.1/index.shtml (so the shtml reading must be activated) but when i load 127.0.0.1 it goes to the Apache default page. My DirectoryIndex change looks like so:
  
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
  DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml
  </IfModule>
  
  Any suggestions?
