	I still haven't head any response about Problem 1,  but I just  
solved problem 2 myself.

	Problem 2: I was wrong, SSI directives are not broken,  they seem to  
have been working fine all along.
	The real problem was: After the April 25 disk crash ,when I restored  
the website files  from my svn repository, the execute bits on the  
SSI-using files needed to be set.  I should have earlier set  
svn:executable property for the files that need their execute  
permission  preserved. (Execute bit is needed for the SSI Xbithack  
option to work, but svn generally does not preserve any permissions  
bits without instructions to do so, even then can only preserve  
permissions bit).

	Problem 1: Still unsolved:  where are the error logs and the access  
logs for thebikeproject.org ?

			Cheers,

			Barry
