SSI stands for server Side Includes which is a simple interpreted server-side scripting language used for the Web.The biggest advantage of SSI is to include the contents of one or more files into a web page on an intenet server. Its common usage includes addition of common piece of code throughout a site, such as a page header, a page footer and a navigation menu. Conditional navigation menus can be conditionally included using control directives.

First you can check SSI are enabled on your server or not. So create one test.html file and add the following code .
<!–#ECHO var=”DATE_LOCAL” –>
Then access the page by using the UR http://domain.com/test.html and  it shows the current date to the screen
Wednesday, 23-Jun-2010 23:53:09 BST
Means SSI was enabled on your server
and If the URL shows the blank page then SSI are not enabled on your server.
If you want to enable it then you need to add the following code into the.htaccess file.
AddType text/html .htm .html .shtm .shtml .sht
AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html .shtml .sht .shtm

Save and exit

If you want to enable the SSI on the server then you need to add
same code in httpd.conf file and restart the apache service.

In order for a web server to recognize an SSI-enabled HTML file and therefore carry out these instructions, either the filename should end with a special extension, by default .shtml, .stm, .shtm, or, if the server is configured to allow this, set the execution bit of the file. It has a simple syntax <!–#directive parameter=value parameter=value –> that Windows and cPanel hostingserver both supports SSI to make task easy.

cPanel works as a Linux based web hosting control panel that provides a GUI (Graphical User Interface), different automation tools and features designed to simplify and mange hosting resources of a web site. cPanel is designed and developed in a way that it uses a 3 tier structure that provides functionality for administrators, resellers, and end-user website owners to control the various aspects of website and server administration through a standard web browser. Apart from GUI interface(,) cPanel also supports command line and API based access that allows third party software vendors, web hosting organizations, and developers to automate standard system administration processes.

cPanel is designed to function either as a dedicated server or virtual private server and it supports CentOS, Red Hat Linux, and FreeBSD. There are certain ways through which we can access cPanel such as :

1) http://domainname.com/cpanel
2) http://domainname.com:2082
3) http://cpanel.servername.com

But sometimes what happens  local firewalls allow only access to sites on port 80. In such cases, use can use No. 3 URL. This is a web based proxy which provides you with the option to access your cPanel via the default http port 80. We have set this extra service for our Customers which (for whom) Internet Service Providers have blocked ports 2082 and 2083.

You may check if the ports are blocked by executing the following commands:

If you are running Windows operating system then do the following:
· Click on Start button
· Click on Run
· Type cmd in the box
· Type telnet domainname.com 2083
· Type telnet domainname.com 2082

If you are running Linux operating system then do the following:
·Start your Linux/Mac OS console terminal
·Type telnet domainname.com 2083
·Type telnet domainname.com 2082

If the port is not blocked the results should look like the following one. Trying IP_of_the_server ( 10.10.10.10 for an example )…
Connected to servername.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.

If it shows different results then it means that the port is blocked and you should use the web proxy link provided above. eUKhost UK web hosting service provider has the most affordable and reliable cPanel hosting packages in UK with quality support to host and run a secure business online.
