Hi,

I still have the problem that .html files aren't displayed, but
offered for download. I added the line AddType text/html .html, but
still, Netscape complains:
(6): You have requested a file of type text/html that netscape can't
display. Chose to download.....
(4.76): You have started to download a file of type
text/x-server-parsed-html

IE doesn't show that much of information, just wants to start a
download.
What's wrong there?

Lars

Hi,

Totally messed up ? Make `mv httpd.conf.default httpd.conf`.

This AddType-directive isnt needed, if youve got included the default
mime.type-file in a TypesConfig-directive and didnt overrided the
MIME-Typ for files ending in .html.

Check the Content-Type-Header your Server is sending when doing a
request via telnet:

$ telnet your.host.com 80

GET /the/file/u/want.html HTTP/1.0
Host: your.host.com <double-return>

Look for the Content-Type field in the response.

Perhaps youve changed the line
#AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .shtml
into
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
and didnt uncomment the AddHandler server-parsed .[s]html.

That's helpful, look for somewhere that you have x-server-parsed-html in
your httpd.conf related to .html files instead of .shtml.  If you're
trying to include SSI directives in .html files you've got something
mis-configured.  Send your AddHandler, DefaultType, and
AddType directives as they relate to html/shtml/server-parsed and we'll
try to fix you up.

Stupid question... Did you restart apache after adding this to your
config ?

Intelligent answer: Yes ;)

a 'grep x-server *' just brought
srm.conf.old:AddType text/x-server-parsed-html html
srm.conf~:AddType text/x-server-parsed-html html

so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

from httpd.conf:

    #
    # To use server-parsed HTML files
    #
    AddType text/html .shtml
    AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
    AddHandler server-parsed .html

DefaultType text/plain

that's all I can find.

BTW: Why do I have two magic files, one samll in /etc/httpd and a big
one in /usr/share/misc?

did that. That's what confuses me even more. Since this is an update,
the only thing I could think of, is that it includes some old configs
like srm.conf, but I moved those away (the ones in /etc/httpd at
least)

moved the httpd.conf.rpmnew to httpd.conf, and only adjusted
DocumentRoot and UserDir, so this one should be really default...

strange. Some ppl on the germanspeaking group said everything works
ok, could someone verify that?
Example: http://www.warkraft.de , the guestbook link
or http://www.the-core.net/graphics/intro.html (beware, 600k flash)

(could our proxy be a problem then, if eversthing really works from
outside?)

Yes there is, look closely at your statements above and the info
below.  You are using AddType where you should be using AddHandler.

Could be that the big one is used by mailcap or something similar to
determine the MIME type of mail.

look closely at the statements: The files are srm.conf.old, and
srm.conf~, both of which aren't used ;)

funny enough, the problem is only inside our network. Perhaps the
proxy has something to do with it?
