Topic: Website / Apache

Greetings.

I have a problem that I can only seem to generate on my e-smith server, installed a second e-smith server just to verify it, and the same thing happens.

My problem is this:  I have a client who has flash 8  on there website.  I wanted to use e-smith to host there website. Appearently there is a problem with FLASH 8 and netscrape on e-smith, it works just fine on IE.  But as soon as you access the website with netscrape, the site asks for the plugins to be installed, all plug-ins have been installed.  

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or answers or just letting me know this may be happening to them.

Sorry for the confusion.  Its Shockwave 8 not flash.

You need to put the following line in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file "AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf". Don't forget to restart apache with #/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart. To do it the e-smith way you should create the file /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/75AddTypes04.swf with the above line in it then rebuild the conf file with #/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and restart apache.
