How Can I Make My Excel File Available?
| Q: | I have an Excel spreadsheet that I’d like to make available for downloading on my NERSP web page. So I’d like to ask that on the NERSP web server you associate the ‘xls’ file extension with the MIME type “application/vnd.ms-excel”, which
you already have listed in \etc\httpd\conf\mime.types. You already have the file extensions mapped for Microsoft Word and Powerpoint files, but not Excel. Thanks so much for your help. (AL) |
| A: | You can define xls as a MIME type in your public_html directory on NERSP. Create a file called .htaccess This file must be in your public_html directory or in the directory where your Excel spreadsheet is located. The file must have world-read authority: user, group, other The body of the file is as follows: addtype application/vnd.ms-excel .xls
This should solve this problem for you. Thank you for writing to us and please let us know if these instructions are not clear. (tlvh) |
