Edit your httpd.conf file. On my win98 pc it's at e:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/conf Make a backup [!]. First find this section: # # To use server-parsed HTML files # AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml And make sure there are no #'s before the last two lines. Then find the permission section. At home you can savely modify the first '<directory>' part from the very restrictive <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> That Apache comes with to <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks Includes AllowOverride Options </Directory> Now save, restart Apache. It should work. MR suggested : > > Try > > <? include "heading.htm"; ?> > > Also try to rename heading.htm to heading.php. that would work but i think it needs php running. To have php running you also need to adapt the httpd.conf file. Find some sites and read a lot.
