You have it right as far as you've gone. In the ./conf directory in your
httpd tree is a file called mime.types . In it, look for the line that
starts with text/html and add the extension htm after the existing html entry. 

Of course, if the htm extension is already there, you must be having some
different problem. (You did mean that the alternate extension was "htm", not
"htm.", didn't you? Standard English rules for punctuation sometimes create
ambiguity in discussions involving filename conventions, and this is an
example of that problem.)
