If you try using Server Side Includes (SSI) but they don't work, it may be because your web server is not configured to allow it. It's also possible that some SSI commands (include, echo) will work while others (exec) won't. If you run your own server, it will be up to you to do the configuration; otherwise you must talk to the server administrator.
These Apache web server configuration directives should fully enable SSI:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm
<Directory /your/document/root/directory>
AllowOverride All
Options Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
For more information see the Apache documentation especially Configuring your server to permit SSI and the Apache SSI FAQ's.
