As it happens, mod_mime_magic code maps "The" and "the" to L_ENG. There's a table that says "English text" -> "text/plain". As a result, if you don't have the word "the" in the file, and the file is not html, there doesn't seem to be anything else that would distinguish this file as "text/plain". There *is* a "DefaultType" directive which is by default set to "text/plain", and this does indeed work since the web browser gets served the file as text/plain when called directly, but this looks like it is done "after" mod_mime_magic has returned a "declined" status and hence has not displayed the file. It seems like an underlying bug.
The easiest thing to do is simply rename README to README.txt. Otherwise, you can use <Files README> ForceType text/plain </Files> Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
