Here's one solution.  In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in between the
<VirtualHost> and </VirtualHost> tags for the site in question you can put
the following to allow SSI on pages with a .shtml extension.

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType    text/html     .shtml

You can specify which file extensions are parsed by the server by adding
them.  This should work.

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm
AddType    text/html     .shtml

While I'm at it, you can add this so pages written in php for a site can be
given a .html extension so web surfers don't know it's not straight html.

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .html
