Hi all, I have an m4v file which I'm trying to view on my iPhone via a rails app. If i place the file in my apache root or in /public and hit the url, it plays back fine, but no matter what I try with rails, the iPhone will try to download the file and receive an error.
I have set up an apache->mongrel balanced cluster, with the rails /public directory being handled by apache config here: http://pastebin.ca/1245995
I've tried adding a mime-type to config/initializers/mime_types.rb like this: Mime::Type.register "video/m4v", :m4v but that made no difference.
Any ideas where i'm going wrong? Shouldn't the apache server be serving the static content given my config?
according to this post Directory directives are recursive, so should apply to files in RAILS_ROOT/public/files/* http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-wiki-changes/200702.mbox/<20070228122140.14413.98759@eos.apache.osuosl.org>
the files i'm linking to are like: http://localhost/files/video.m4v
thanks for reading
