I've done "AddType text/html html htm" and it works fine. The thing that
doesn't
work is the default page which is "Index.html" and not Index.htm - but that's a
different story.

grtz, tpo

You'd be better off asking this in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix, but here
goes.

First, if that's really the line you added, you probably need a '.' before the
extension.  You would in NCSA.

Secondly, did you restart the server after you changed the file?

You shouldn't have to mess with mailcap or mime.types, because you
aren't defining a new type - just mapping a new extension to an
extant type.

mime.types is the place to add it:

text/html	htm

is the line to add. Then do a kill -1 on your httpd  -- or if you're
using the apache server in RedHat, do:

 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd stop
 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd start

To solve the index.html/index.htm problem, you can either list
both (in the order you require) for the DirectoryIndex line,
or you could switch on MultiViews and just put 'index' instead.

hmm, do they really not allow something like:

	/etc/init.d/httpd stop
	/etc/init.d/httpd start

which can be a damned sight easier to remember.

Nearly there.  You might not be in runlevel 3, or the number 85 might
not be guaranteed.  What is better is to do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init
[start|stop]".
