how to change mime types in MAMP


I'm developing a website that has a HTML5 video. It looks like when ogg files are served with other mime types than video/ogg firefox flips. I've updated the mime.types file inside the mamp/apache/config folder and have restarted the MAMP server multiple times, but ogg files are still served with plain/text context-type.

Can someone point out what I need to do?

UPDATE

The only time I'm able to change the mime type is if I change the DefaultType text/plain to DefaultType video/ogg which is stupid.


Solution

  • Do you have mod_mime_magic installed and enabled? Is your mime magic working correctly? When you do file -m on one of your OGG files, does it say it is a plain text file? Are the file extensions correct?
