Configuring MIME Types

Learn to configure MIME type.

For users to be able to work with different document types (DOC, DOCX, RTF, PDF, etc.) in Aurea CRM.Web the file extensions must be registered on the web server: To do this, you need to configure the corresponding MIME types.

There are two possibilities to configure the MIME types:

• The required MIME types must be added to the Windows registry on the web server (in HKLM\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type and HKLM\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\[.extension]).
• In addition, you can define MIME types in the MimeTypes.xml which is referenced via the settings.xml file's <update.web> section. (Both files are located at ..\system\settings).

  The most common MIME types are already part of the delivered MimeTypes.xml.
