The needs for Server side includes is the following:

1. You need the

LoadModule includes_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_include.so

line in httpd.conf

2. Options for the directory must have Includes enabled in all cases.

If you want to enable Includes from the .htaccess then you also need
AllowOverride Options set for the directory in access.conf.


3. Furthermore,  either
    AddHandler server-parsed .shtml 
or 
    XBitHack on (or full)

need to be set for the directory.
