I'm trying to configure Apache 2.2.2 on Fedora Core 5. I've been getting unexpected behavior for HTML files and images (.jpg and .gif) when viewed in Mozilla 1.5.0.1. I'm connected on static IP to a netgear Router
First symptom I'm experiencing is that HTML files bring up a dialog asking whether to download or save. In MSIE they display normally (with the exception of symptom 3 noted below). From what I have read, this is usually an indication that my server is not sending correct content types (since MSIE ignores content types anyway), but I have checked my mime.types file and it includes the line: text/html html htm which I believe to be correct. I'm not using any .htaccess files. I've checked my httpd.conf which does have the right path for mime.types. Symptom number two is that both .gif and .jpg images consistently display a 403 Forbidden error, which shows up in the error log as "(13)Permission denied: access to /paradise.jpg denied" . The permissions for paradise.jpg in this case are set the same as for a text file in the same directory which displays normally (read permissions allowed to everyone). The entries in mime.types for .gif and .jpg also appear to be normal. Symptom number three is that requesting a directory from Mozilla displays the directory contents when no index.html file exists (I have my DirectoryIndex directive set to index.html index.html.var) BUT when there is an index.html Mozilla brings up the same "download or open?" dialog, but with a blank or apparently random (e.g. kesp6g7b) filename. If downloaded or forced to view as HTML, this file turns out have the same content as the index.html file. In the same scenario MSIE complains that it doesn't know how to handle the file type. I have the Indexes option specifed for my document root in the httpd.conf file. To me it seems like at least the first two symptoms are related to my server somehow failing to communicate the proper content types. Does anyone have any suggestions for where to look for the problem? I'd also appreciate any advice on dealing with symptom 3 (indexes).
