  • + How can I attach a footer to my documents + without using SSI? + +

    + You can make arbitrary changes to static documents by configuring an + + Action which launches a CGI script.

    +

    + Busy sites may not want to run a CGI script on every request, and + should consider using an Apache module to add the footer.

    Apache does not include a search engine, but there are many good + commercial and free search engines which can be used easily with + Apache.
