Problem linking to wmv's

if you have ftp/sftp/scp access, you can create a text file named .htaccess on your computer, and upload it to the document root. apache looks for them at every request, so the changes should take effect immediatelly.

if you are using windows, you cant do the normal left click > new file > text file because it assumes .htaccess is not a valid name. instead, open notepad, paste AddType video/x-ms-wmv wmv and save as .htaccess.

if adding an .htaccess file doesnt work, that probably means that AllowOverride None is set in the servers httpd.conf file, and you would have to ask your host to change it to AllowOverride All , or just add the mime types for you.
