Got the NEW page working on the CRAB server……  It was more than likely a side effect of the Apache server upgrade somewhere around the Fedora 18 or 19 upgrade.  Here’s how I did it:

I became root user, then opened a terminal in the requests directory.

# nano .htaccess

Then, I put the following into the file:

Options +Includes
AddType text/html .html .shtml .txt
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html .shtml .txt

Saved the file, then restarted Apache as follows:

# systemctl restart httpd

That took care of it, but I think I shall try putting that .htaccess file in CRAB’s document root, as well as the main server document root.  I think that might be a better place for that file.  😀
