I've done the following:

1. Added "Includes" in httpd.conf
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/manual">
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

2. In httpd.conf, uncommented
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

3. System Preferences -> Sharing -> Started Personal Web Sharing

4. In my Sites folder, I have two files (test.shtml & footer.html)
test.shtml:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
this file

this file
</body>
</html>

footer.html:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
footer file
</body>
</html>

5. In Safari, http://IPAddress/~admin/test.shtml

output:
this file this file

Can someone tell me where I am wrong? Or can someone test what I have out? Thanks in advance!

I can see one error right off the bat: take out the <html>, <head>, and <body> taks from footer.html. They will hurt the HTML once it's working, because these parts of the HTML will be included. Only include the "footer file" section.

As for the rest, I can understand most of the problem here too: you've turned on SSI for the computer's main site, but not for home folders. However, I am not certain how to turn it on for home folders; I've never been able to get that part working right either. Can someone else help us out here?

I've found another error. In your SSI, you need to have a space before the --> at the end of each call. If you don't have this, Apache will treat it as an ordinary comment. A large number of SSI problems can be traced to this error.

Unfortunately, this still isn't fixing the problem. Anyone else have any ideas?

In httpd.conf try:-

<Directory /Users/*/Sites>
Options +MultiViews +Indexes +IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone else?

Is it necessary since httpd.conf contains

# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir Sites
</IfModule>
