The M-Business Admin Server is preconfigured to vend the appropriate MIME types for binary files. If you are using the binary files from the built-in location within M-Business Server, no additional Web-server configuration is needed. However, if you are serving the binary files from another Web server, you may need to configure that Web server to handle the MIME types correctly. Follow the instructions below if you need to do this.

The Web server hosting the binaries must be configured to give binaries a MIME type of application/octet-stream. Consult your Web server documentation for help with changing MIME types.

A sample procedure for enabling a Web server is provided below.

To enable a Web server in an enterprise where Netscape Suitespot servers are installed

1. Log in to the Netscape Administration server as the admin user.

2. Click the button next to the Netscape Enterprise Server. This is the Web server part of Netscape Suitespot.

3. Go to the Server Preferences tab, then select MIME Types.

4. Look to see if you already have an application/octet-stream content-type, if you do, edit the one already present; if not, add one (category: type).

5. Specify the file extension you are adding in the File Suffix file. You can add multiple suffixes, so, for example, to enable DLL and CAB files, you would make the File Suffix equal dll,cab.

6. Click Save.

When you synchronize the mobile device, the server places .exe files in the Start menu; other files are placed in the avantgoclient/pods directory.
