Want to get rid of the "can't read magic file" error in ts67?

RonaldV

In Ts67 you might see these errors in your apache-log:

[error] (1)Not owner: mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /appl/gwtst00/code/TeamSite/iw-webd/conf/magic

To remove them simply create an empty file at the indicated location and restart iw.server. :-)

What does that file actually do? Why does the web server look for that file?

You best check the docs yourself:

good find... But if you want to get rid of the error, I'd say it might be more sensible to remove the configuration that activates the mod_mime_magic apache extension altogether. That can be done (I would think) in $IWHOME/iw-webd/conf/iwwebd.conf.template + restart UI (iwreset -ui)

MIMEMagicFile conf/magic

(esp. since the docs you linked to are mentioning a performance impact... I suspect IWOV just forgot to remove this section from the standard Apache confs. It's not present in TS 6.5 and clearly it's not doing anything.)
