Ask on the users list, this is not a developer question.

The fact that our prompt says [admin@... suggest that in fact you are
still logged in as admin, not root.  It would say [root@... if you
were.  Type "su" (without the quotes) by itself.  Enter your password
when prompted.  Update mime.types.  I think you then need to restart
httpd, with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart" (once again minus the
quotes)
