Re: Strange problem with mime-type

Hello, This is an easy answer. You MUST define this in addition to the others listed in the httpd.conf file: index.php index.php3 index.php4 index.phtml index.phps this(ese) lines are found under the heading: <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm </IfModule> Your ISP should know this. Simply tell him/ her to add them. :-) Best wishes, Chris > Hi > > I am using PHP on a remotely-hosted server so don't have access to the > httpd.conf file.
