MIME setting for IIS 4.0

[John Croteau]

Hi Curtis and all,


I'll be adding this as a Tech Note under Servers - If anyone has any

suggestions please let me know.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Computer MIME Setting for IIS version 4.0


Bring up the Internet Information Server if you added it with the 4.0

Option Pack these are the exact directions:


Goto Start > Programs > Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack > Microsoft Internet

Imformation Server > Internet Service Manager


This will bring up the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) which is the

new name for Internet Service Manager.


Select Your Computer (If you are controlling more than one computer you

need to set the MIME for each as required)

 

Console Root

   Internet Information Server 

        Your Computer


This will set the MIME for this computer and all the Directories and

Virtual Servers on it.


Right click on 'Your Computer' and

Select Properties


Select the File Types button to configure the MIME (Multipurpose

Internet Mail Extensions) mappings. These mappings set the various file

types that the Web service returns to browsers. The registered file

types that are installed on Windows_NT are listed in the File Types

dialog box.


First check if there is a listing for .swf, if one is there edit it to

add correct MIME. If not there, click the New Type button in the File

Types dialog box. 


In the File Type dialog box enter .swf in the Associated Extension box.

In the Content Type (MIME) box enter  application/x-shockwave-flash


Note


To install IIS, you must be logged on to the server computer by using an

account with Administrator privileges. You must also be logged on in

such an account to administer multiple Web sites or multiple FTP sites.


I believe you do not have to reboot in 4.0 but am not sure, so if it

doesn't work until you reboot let me know.


Other MIME settings you might want to add while there:


.spl   application/futuresplash

.mid   audio/midi
