Before recently I had not required to publish any flash animations with a windows server running IIS6.  Come to find out that it is really easy to do.  I ran across the following blog below with the correct information.  I’ll include the steps below the url for posterity.

Adding .flv MIME type in IIS

1) Select the site to configure in IIS, right click and select “Properties”
2) Under HTTP Headers Tab, select “File Types” under the MIME Map section and select “New Type”
3) Type “.flv” as the associated extension and “video/x-flv” as the content type.
4) Select “OK” and you’re ready to fly!

I’ve been working a quirky sub-domain 404 issue and I found a quick and clean redirect script. Instead of a nasty 404 page you can redirect the web request to the index page. I found the helpful script here: http://css-tricks.com/how-to-redirect-indexhtml-to-indexphp/

I deleted whatever text was in 404.php and replaced it with:


header( 'Location: http://www.redirect-location.com' );
exit();
?>


Worked like a charm for me!
