Re: Mime type problem

[Jason Nugent]

	Hi Daniel,


	cd into your /conf directory for apache and edit the file called 

mime.types.   Add a line like this:


	application/x-shockwave-flash   swf


	then save the file and exit.  Restart your WEB server (you don't 

have to restart Unix) by doing this:


	cd into your logs/ directory  (if you are still in /conf, you can 

get there by typing   cd ../logs


	and then type:


	kill -HUP `cat httpd.pid`


	You might have to be root to run this, if the web server is 

running on the default port of 80.


			Hth, Jason
