I am running a classic ASP website where my online users can attach files to the internal message system. But whenever they upload an attachment with more then 3 characters in the file extension, the server gives me a 404.
Files like mypicture.jpg works fine, but files like mydocument.docx doesn t work?
Any suggestions?
IIS6 will only serve documents where the file extension is mapped to a mime type in the mime map property for the server or the site. In order to serve the more recent Office 2007 document types you will need to add extra mappings.
There are a number of places where you can find a list of these new mime types.
This is a simple one; from Office 2007 mime types for IIS:
.docm,application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document .dotm,application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12 .dotx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template .potm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 .potx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template .ppam,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 .ppsm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 .ppsx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow .pptm,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 .pptx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation .xlam,application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 .xlsb,application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 .xlsm,application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 .xlsx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet .xltm,application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 .xltx,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.templateAdding all mime-types to IIS in one step is very simple:
The easiest way to do this is stopping IIS and editing the metabase XML file (
C:WINDOWSsystem32inetsrvMetaBase.xml) using a text editor. Search for the<IIsMimeMap Location="/LM/MimeMap" />element and append the lines above to the MimeMap attribute
The server probably has no mime-type defined for docx and such file extensions.
