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
