Ran into a problem today where users were trying to download Office 2007
documents from a web site, but were prompted to save them as a Zip file.
Turns out the new extensions for Office 2007 documents (docx, xlsx,
pptx, etc) need to be added with a new mime-type for Apache to serve
them up correctly.
It’s a pretty simple fix.
In /etc/mime.types add this:
application/vnd.openxmlformats docx pptx xlsx
Save and restart Apache, then the documents should be handled correctly.
could you better explain where to change this
Hi Anna,
The file you need to edit is in the /etc directory and it is called mime.types
Hope that helps!
