1. What are SSI
SSI(Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML pages. They let you add dynamically generated content
to an existing HTML page, without having to serve the entire page via a CGI program, or other dynamic technology.
2. Configuring your server to permit SSI
SSI will use mod_include. So we should first enable this module on my ubuntu system.
>sudo a2enmod include
Change the configuration
>cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
>vi default
