httpd.conf settings

Question

Hi, for an assignment I have to set the MIME type based on the file extension. In my particular case it means to add these lines to .htaccess:

...
AddType audio/webm webma
AddType audio/wav wav
AddType video/mp4 mp4
AddType video/mp4 m4v
...

and so on.

I'm just wondering if I really need to do that. The question is, how can I know if the default httpd.conf for my Static/CGI/PHP-5.3 application already has these settings? I tried to find ~ -name httpd.conf to check its content but no relevant httpd.conf files have been found.

Hope I have been clear enough, thanks.

Hi,

If you are using the shared Apache server (for example, with a Static/CGI/PHP app), you have no access to the configuration files (httpd.conf / mime.types). This is actually defined in the mime.types configuration file. The default MIME types that are defined for these extensions are:

webma - not defined
wav - audio/x-wav
mp4 - video/mp4
m4v - not defined

You can redefine them in a .htaccess file.

Not even read only access?

Actually, yes, you do have read-only access. However, I'd ask you to open a ticket if you need this information, as I'm hesitant to post it publicly.
