Add Media files types.

Monday 18 July 2005 11:52:26 am

Hello,

I am trying to configure ez to serve .flv video files.
It will not serve the file with the correct mime type after editing the apache conf. A also can't access the file from cache directly from the browser.

How do I enable ez to serve the file as it would any other file such as jpeg with the specified mime type.
Also, is it possible to add it as a media type in ez when creating a content class.

Thx

Daniel,
have you checked that your Apache RewriteRules are not part of the problem?

Ok, that was it.
I needed to specify the flv extension

so this
RewriteRule !(((^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages|^/packages|^/share/icons).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf))|^/extension/phpadsnew/phpadsnew/.*)$ /index.php

becomes this
RewriteRule !(((^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages|^/packages|^/share/icons).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf|flv))|^/extension/phpadsnew/phpadsnew/.*)$ /index.php

notice the flv extension added near the end.
