What do I do to get the SSI include directive to work?
NOTE: Accounts that were setup after July 7th, 2003 have SSI enabled by default.

The SHTML mime-type has been setup in the mime.types file and the VDS has been restarted but we cannot see included files.

In the httpd.conf file go to the section that states:

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Change the Options line like below:
<Directory />
    #Options FollowSymLinks
    Options FollowSymLinks Includes
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
