Hi,
Right to it then.
Using httpd-2.0.52-28 on CentOS4.3.
Trying to redefine MIMEMagicFile with a file in the conf.d/
directory. Now, I thought those files were read after the config in
conf/. I've redefined other parameters in this way. I put a redefine
of MIMEMagicFile in a file ending in .conf in conf.d/. I know it
gets read because other things work. In this case MIMEMagicFile did
not get redefined. I know this because the mime types defined in the
new file didn't work.
If I completely comment out the definition of MIMEMagicFile in
conf/httpd.conf and only define it in the secondary file in conf.d/ then
it works.
One other thing, the define is in a conditional as follows.
# Magic file type hint file override
<IfModule mod_mime_magic.c>
MIMEMagicFile /usr/share/magic.mime
# MIMEMagicFile conf/magic
</IfModule>
This is basically the one in httpd/conf/httpd.conf with the
MIMEMagicFile comments swapped. So it reads the main one in http/conf,
and as I understand it then should read and do the secondary one in
httpd/conf.d. Doesn't seem to be working. Obviously the goal here is
not to muck about with the primary config file which is what con.d is
for I think.
So when I just redefine MIMEMagicFile from the secondary file in
conf.d it just acts like this is being ignored.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? Help appreciated.
Thank you.

So here's a conundrum. I put conf/httpd.conf back the way it was
before Paul's change and copied that segment of the config to
conf.d/x_martinos.conf. Sam then tried the files that had been
failing, they failed again. I put it back the way Paul had it, and it
worked. There was some cache dumping in there on Sam's firefox. So I
completely commented out the magic segment in conf/httpd.conf and just
left it only in conf.d/x_martinos.conf. Sam cleared his cahe again
and tried again and now it works. Almost seems like the magic file
directive didn't get overriden which, as far as I understand from the
docs, it should have.
I think this one needs to be taken up with the apache
development team.
As I understand it, the config in conf gets read first and conf.d
second which should allow those second configs to override the first.
Was that your undrstanding Paul?

Do you really want to do that in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or do you want MIMEMagicFile overriden in a /etc/httpd/conf.d file? They all have x_martinos.conf files.If the override works, that would be better so do that.Well, conf is read first and conf.d second. That's why it's there. But we'll check it too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Johnson |Internet: johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Administrator |Web: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~johnson NMR Center |Voice: 617.726.0949 Mass.
