SSI Not Working - Question Regarding Configuration on Apache Server.

Tags: ssi, working, apache
Hello,
We recently transferred a website from one host to another, new IP address and all. Each page on the site relies on SSI, which was enabled and working correctly on the last apache server the website was hosted on. This new apache server appears to be setup appropriately, however SSI is not working. A simple test requesting the date and time shows up blank on pages.

The new .htaccess file was originally blank. I have added the following but it does not seem to help:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

Also, through Cpanel I checked to make sure that the apache handlers included the extension .shtml with server-parsed handler and it does. What might I be missing? I am unfamiliar with the httpd.conf file so I am not sure if anything needs to be done with it. As a note, the new site does not have a httpd.conf file, not even an /etc folder.

Thanks in advance.
