I am trying to install Drupal 5.0 along side an existing static HTML site. The .htaccess file located in the root dir of the web site makes Apache 1.x stop processing the SSI (Server Side Includes) correctly for the static HTML site. Nothing in the file jumps out at me as being the source of the trouble. Had to rename off the file to get the static HTML site working again.

BTW: The method I used to get Drupal to not take over the web site was two fold: 1) edit the .htaccess file to make index.shtml the default and 2) edit common.inc to always include index.php in the URL. Once migration is completed I intended to reverse those two changes.

Thanks,
Michael

The problem here is not Drupal, it's more the webserver configuration and installing Drupal alongside a SSI based static site. Closing this old issue.
