One thing that can help is to look at the stock commented httpd.conf file that 
comes with Apache (ie. httpd.conf.dist). The file should have the following lines:

AddIcon /icons/layout.gif .html .shtml .htm .pdf

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml


All of the above are in the stock httpd.conf file and are not in a 
configuration block for a specific virtual server. Since you also mentioned 
index.shtml, don't forget to add index.shtml as the first entry in the 
DirectoryIndex line of the .conf file.
