[cobalt-users] adding MIME types



Folks:

A client of mine has a Web site that is primarily a Flash (4) movie. After recently moving him to our (Cobalt Raq3) server, the site "broke" and tends to cause Netscape to freeze. (what DOESN'T cause Netscape to freeze?!) Right away, I suspected that we didn't have the MIME types for Flash on the server, yet. I checked the "mime.types" file in httpd's directory and saw the they were missing from the default setup, so I added them (as "root", via pico).

However, the site's Flash still freezes Netscape (it WAS working on the other server!). So, I'm wondering if I need to restart something (httpd??) in order for the new MIME types to be recognized, or if this happens automatically when a new file is loaded (from the browser). Any thoughts/solutions would be welcome.
	The site address is: http://www.appletonlloyd.com/

	TIA
