Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1C
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
Windows 32 Intel
SYMPTOM(s):
On the second run of the bootstrap.htm all that comes back is a blank page with "MSCF".
User is using a Webserver.
CAUSE:
The error, "MSCF" is caused by missing the definition of the MIME types in the Web server configuration.
When the user attempts to access the application, the Web page that was provided references the configuration file for the application. Before the user's browser can open the configuration file using WebClient Initializer, it must recognize a MIME type for the configuration file. To accomplish this, the Web server must be configured to associate the configuration file extension with its MIME type.
FIX:
The method used for configuring the Web server depends on the type of Web server used. For each Web server however, The extension and MIME type for the configuration file types must be specified as follows:
MIME types -- application/progress-wcappcab
File type extension -- prowcapc
-- Apache Web Server
To register the MIME types for all directories on the server, do one of the following:
a) Add the following line to the srm.conf file:
addtype application/progress-wcappcab prowcapc
- or -
b) Add the following line to the mime.types file:
application/progress-wcappcab prowcapc
If a dedicated Web server is being used, rehash/recycle to register this information.
-- iPlanet Web Server / Netscape Enterprise Server
On iPlanet / Netscape, follow these steps to register MIME types:
1) Open the Administration Server.
2) Select a server and choose the Manage button.
3) Choose Preferences > MIME Types.
4) Type application/progress-wcappcab for Content-Type.
5) Type prowcapc for File Suffix.
6) Choose the New Type button to register the new MIME type on the Web server.
7) Complete the Administration Server steps to save and apply the changes so the Web server recognizes the new MIME type.
-- Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
The IIS server stores its MIME types in the Windows registry. Register the MIME type for the application configuration file using the iis_wc.reg registry file. This file can be found in the following location on the Progress installation CD:
webinstall\webclient\web_image
where Webinstall is the directory where the WebClient install images are installed.
To merge the MIME type entries from this file into the registry and configure the Web server, follow these steps:
1) Copy the iis_wc.reg file to the Web server.
2) To register the MIME type, do one of the following on the Web server:
a) Select the iis_wc.reg in the Windows Explorer, click the right mouse button, and select Merge. This imports the contents of the file into the registry.
Or,
b) Double click the file in the Windows Explorer. This imports the contents of the file into the registry.
3) Restart your Web server to register these changes.
