[gentoo-user] Apache 2.2.6 missing /etc/apache2/mime.types

[gentoo-user] Apache 2.2.6 missing /etc/apache2/mime.types

[Randy Barlow]

Hi!  I just upgraded from Apache 2.0.x to 2.2.6 and am working out
kinks.  Right now I see

 * Caching service dependencies ...           [ ok ]
 * Starting apache2 ...                       [ !! ]

There is nothing in /var/log/messages and /var/log/apache2/error_log shows

[Sun Oct 07 22:51:36 2007] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could
not open mime types config file /etc/apache2/mime.types.

I admittedly don't have this file, but I also don't know if a) I am
supposed to have this file and am missing it for some reason, or if b) I
don't need the file but some config file somewhere thinks I do.

I see a package called mime-types, but it seems to install
/etc/mime.types and not /etc/apache2/mime.types...  Help?

I found a temporary solution by symlinking /etc/apache2/mime.types to
/etc/mime.types, but that doesn't seem like the correct way to go...

Change the TypesConfig directive in Apache2 to the location of your
mime.types file (in this case, /etc/mime.types). For example, my machine
does this:

mybox ~ # grep TypesConfig /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
# TypesConfig describes where the mime.types file (or equivalent) is
TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

So I ended up just clobbering my configs and starting over with the
default ones because lots of things were being "weird".  Now I just have
to figure out how to do a few things the new way (I think I had been
keeping the same LONG httpd.conf for a long time and this time it didn't
work anymore...).
