Re: [cobalt-developers] Mime Types

[Blake Webster <blake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:
When I added the Flash mime type I tenetted in to the root:
After login, type in su root.
It will ask for your password, it's the same as oyur admin password.
Then proceed to the appropriate directory:
/etc/httpd/conf/
Here you will need to edit the file mime.types
Be sure to make a backup first:
cp /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types.backup

Afterwards, reboot the server.
