I am running an Apache instance on Ubuntu and am having this problem: .HTML files with bonafide HTML inside is being served as a text file:
> **For eg. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <html>
> <body> <h1>Index to Butterthlies
> Catalogs</h1>
etc. etc.**
I checked the header in firebug and sure enough the page is plain\text. I figured I'm probably missing the mod_mime module, so I tried to include it as a module like this:
LoadModule mod_mime /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so
TypesConfig conf/mime.types
where the /usr/lib... path contains the mod_mime.so. But this doesn't work and gives the following error:
Syntax error on line 1 of /usr/www/APACHE3/site.first/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `mod_mime' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so: undefined symbol: mod_mime
