(IIS 7.0) Set MIME types

FH Web uses .xpi and .dmg extensions for client computers that use Safari or Firefox as a browser. For these plug-ins to run, IIS 7.0 requires that you have a document with an extension that does not have a registered MIME type on that server.

1. (If you have not done so already) Choose Start → Administrative Tools → Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

   The Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window appears.

   

2. In the left pane, select FH Web server name.

   The large right pane is replaced by a middle pane and a narrower right pane.

3. Scroll down in the middle pane and double-click MIME Types.

   

   The middle and right panes update to display information about MIME types.

   

4. Scan the list in the middle pane for the .dmg and .xpi file extensions.

5. (If both file extensions are not yet registered as MIME types) Register the file extensions as MIME types.

   1. Click Add.

      The Add MIME Type dialog box appears.

      

   2. In File name extension, type .xpi or .dmg.

      Caution: If a file extension is already registered as a MIME type, do not enter it again in File name extension.

   3. In MIME type, type application/octet-stream.
   4. Click OK.
   5. In the middle pane, verify that the new MIME type appears in the list.
   6. (If necessary) Click Add again, and then repeat steps b-e to register the second file extension as a MIME type.
6. Close the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window.
7. Continue with Place the temporary license file in the installation directory.
