office 2007 mime type for apache
When attempting to download a pptx file from this link:
http://www.l-3.com/private/index.php?dir=L3ByaXZhdGUvaWVlZQ==
It shows up as a zip file. How do I fix this so that it opens with Powerpoint?
Server: Apache2 on Ubuntu 9.x

@echo:
Yes. I know. That's why it's posted in the Apache zone. :-)

Oh, sorry. It showed up in my alerts, and I didn't look at the zone!
But that FAQ has a link to here:
http://www.vladville.com/2007/04/office-2007-mime-types-for-apache.html
Does that help?

I added the following, restarted apache, and it is still not working...
/etc/mime.types:

Where did you add that text?
You need to add it (from line 3 on) to the file /etc/mime.types, not to the Apache conf file, and not to a htaccess.

That's exactly where I put it.
Could you post the contents both of your /etc/mime.types and httpd.conf?
Also: is there a htaccess file in the web folder that serves those files? If yes, post that one, too, please.
