Or, since you are using Apache, you can just put the
same line inthe .htaccess file (what? you don't have a
.htaccess file? Then create one. It's just a simple
text file that sets environment variables for that
particular directory! Do a Google on the web for MIME
types and .htaccess and you'll get more information
than you bargained...it's not hard, but it's not
obvious....in unix that is. That's another reason I
like Windows, IIS makes this stuff simple!
btw, that's what I did with mine. I don't synch, and
rarely backup to computer, so I just download all my
stuff from my webserver: http://newton.tek-ed.com. The
content is dynamically served using Cold Fusion and it
works amazingly well!
