5 In the General pane, add index.shtml to the set of default index files for that site.
Repeat this procedure for each virtual host site that uses SSI. (See “Setting the Default
Page for a Website” on page 25 for more information.)
By default, the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file maintained by Server Admin contains the
following two lines:
AddHandler server-parsed shtml
AddType text/html shtml
You can add MIME types in Server Admin from the MIME Types pane.
The changes take effect when you restart web service.
Viewing Website Settings
You can use the Sites pane of Server Admin to see a list of your websites. The Sites
pane shows:
• Whether a site is enabled
• The site’s DNS name and IP address
• The port being used for the site
Double-clicking a site in the Sites pane opens the site details window, where you can
view or change the settings for the site.
Setting Server Responses to MIME Types and
Content Handlers
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) is an Internet standard for specifying what
happens when a web browser requests a file with certain characteristics. Content
handlers are similar and also use suffixes to determine how a file is handled. A file’s
suffix describes the type of data in the file. Each suffix and its associated response
together is called a MIME type mapping or a content handler mapping. See
“Understanding Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension” on page 11 for more
information.
