i found that after transfering one of my customer's web sites over that a particular swf file would not open in Netscape on my RaQ4 but ran fine on an NT server. someone told me that i have to set up a mime type for a swf file. could anyone tell me how to do this? i am a newbie to Linux so please include details.

Hi :)

you can try to add a .htaccess in your flash directory.

add this: AddType application/x-shockwave-flash swf , and make a .htaccess and upload in yer flash dir.

or telnet in your srvr. and look for mime types type: whereis mimetype and add those ones up top :)




cheers,
