Peter, What browser are you using on the MacOS machine? I clicked on the 1.mpg link from http://24.132.85.220:9006/VoiceBase/audio using Netscape and it opened the file as text. This indicates to me that your server is not configured to serve files that end in .mp3 properly. Have you rebooted your machine since editing your <server_install/conf/web.xml file? I don't think you should have had to edit the file since by default the <mime-mapping> <extension>mp3</extension> <mime-type>audio/x-mpeg</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
entry is already present in the web.xml file that comes in the Tomcat installation. I saved the 1.mp3 file to my machine and put it under a document root of my Tomcat installation and then accessed the file using Netscape. The Quicktime player was started. This is because the QuickTime plug-in is assigned to handle audio/mpeg and audio/x-mpex mime types. If you are using Netscape, you can check this by going to Help->About-Plugins and viewing the plug-ins that are installed. The reason that it works in Explorer is that the browser will ignore the mime type in favor of the file name extension. You can see this for yourself if you rename the 1.mp3 to 1.txt and try and view it with your browser. I can play the files fine on my machine with Netscape and Explorer when I serve the file using my server. What language is that, Swedish? -Richard At 06:05 AM 10/1/2002 +0200, you wrote: >Hi, > >I asked this before but still could not fix the problem..... >I'm running the tomcat install which is included in Macintosh Os X 10.2.1 >'Jaguar' (Tomcat 3.2.4). > >- There are no errors in the logs > >The problem is that macintosh browsers open .mp3 files as text.
