Problem with mime.types - not playing midi files correctly

Problem with mime.types - not playing midi files correctly

Post by Dean Guenther - Systems Sta » Wed, 24 Jan 1996 04:00:00



Hi, I posted a similar request last week as a HUP signal not working. Well,
I'm certain the -HUP is working fine. I think the problem is my mime.types
file. What I have is this:

I'm running httpd 1.4.2 on a Digital OSF/1 3.2c machine. I have been unable
to get the server to properly download midi files. I include the line in the
mime.types file as such:

audio/x-wav                    wav
audio/midi                      mid MID midi MIDI
image/gif                      gif

However, the browser (netscape in this case) tries to load the midi file and it simply puts text in the browser's window. I know the browser is setup correctly because I can play midi files just fine from other sites. How do I correctly
setup the server to down load midi files so the browser can play them?

Hi, problem turned out to be permissions on the file 8-}
The file was 744. I didn't know it needed exec too.
The mime file was set up correctly. -- Dean
