FLV Videos

You may find that your FLV videos aren’t playing or won’t download. To solve this you will need to add the FLV mime type in IIS. To do this, follow these instructions:

1) Select the site which you want to configure in IIS; right click on it and select ‘Properties’.

2) Under the ‘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 associated content type.

4) Click ‘OK’, then restart IIS.

That’s it! Your FLV files should now play and download!

Apache Log Files >2GB

Should you find error messages in /etc/httpd/logs/error_log such as

[Tue Mar 28 04:29:42 2006] [notice] child pid 24546 exit signal File size limit exceeded (25)

This means that you have a log file that is great than 2GB in size. To fix this run

cd /etc/httpd/domlogs
du -sh * | grep [0-9]G

This should show you the file that is causing issues e.g. domain.com.log. To reset it, but loosing the webstats run

cd /etc/httpd/domlogs
rm domain.com.log
touch domain.com.log
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start

Do not use just an Apache restart but a full stop/start to make sure it closes all its old files
