In the case of this module,
it tries to figure out the MIME type of the file.
<p>
- This module is only active if the magic file exists and
- was successfully opened at server-configuration time.
- The magic file can be named by the
- <A HREF="#mimemagicfile"><code>MimeMagicFile</code></a>
- directive or defaults to conf/magic.
+ This module active only if the magic file is specified by the
+ <A HREF="#mimemagicfile"><code>MimeMagicFile</code></a> directive.
<p>
The contents of the file are plain ASCII text in 4-5 columns.
Blank lines are allowed but ignored.
<P>
<STRONG>Syntax:</STRONG> MimeMagicFile <em>magic-file-name</em>
<BR>
- <STRONG>Default:</STRONG> conf/magic
+ <STRONG>Default:</STRONG> none
<BR>
<STRONG>Context:</STRONG> server config, virtual host
<BR>
<STRONG>Module:</STRONG> mod_mime_magic
<p>
- The MimeMagicFile directive can be used to change the location of the
- magic file from its default location at <code>conf/magic</code>.
- Non-rooted paths are relative to the ServerRoot.
+ The <code>MimeMagicFile</code> directive can be used to enable this module,
+ the default file is distributed at <code>conf/magic</code>.
+ Non-rooted paths are relative to the ServerRoot. Virtual hosts
+ will use the same file as the main server unless a more specific setting
+ is used, in which case the more specific setting overrides the main server's
+ file.
