I checked the mime.types.default file and the text/html line does reference the extensions html and htm. My plan is to add the files with the html<date> extension to the list and see how that goes. Because the <date> is variable would the correct syntax to add be html$DATE? If I were to add an AddType application line to the httpd.conf file, would the syntax be AddType application/x-html .html$DATE -----Original Message----- From: Tim Burden [mailto:tim@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 3/10/2005 11:39 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] HTML Documents Showing Up As Code Rather Than Web Page So in one case you're using http, and in another case the browser is reading the file directly from the file system and Apache is not involved. My guess is that Boyle Owen was right, and there is a mime-type problem. In the latter case, the browser gets to decide what the mime type is because it has no other hints. In the former case, the server is sending a mime-type (I'm guessing text/plain) that makes browsers think it is a plain text file. IE apparently doesn't care :) So, look at the default mime type and make sure it is text/html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaplan, Andrew H." <AHKAPLAN@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 11:32 AM Subject: RE: [users@httpd] HTML Documents Showing Up As Code Rather Than Web Page > Sorry about that --- > > When I enter the following text in the web browser's address field: > > http://<ip address>/outputfiles > > I get to the screen that lists the files in the directory which had > an alias configuration set up in the httpd.conf file.
