Hi Franck,

Thanks for your help.
Can you take a look at these links and confirm that it might be a mimetype issue or some other issue. I'm considering upgrading viewvc 1.0 to the latest, but wanted to attempt to fix the problem with the current version first. The first link is to a powerpoint file and it contains garbage when I download and then open.

okay thanks Franck. I've tried svn_ignore_mimetype = 0, but can't confirm the svn:mime-type property is set on the file.

Another person suggested that I upgrade from ViewVC 1.0.0 to 1.1.25. I will probably try that since I am not having any luck with the mimetypes.

svn:mime-type property may be a solution.

The powerpoint and excel files are okay when I use svn from command line to check out files. The issue is when I used ViewVC to download the powerpoint and excel files.

svn property is purely subversion command. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.html

I don't believe I am. Should I place that in my /etc/mime.types file? What exactly is the format? I did a google search and didn't see a good example.

Thanks.

questions: did you looked at http://www.viewvc.org/faq.html#openxml-downloads ? Did you set the svn:mime-type?

When using ViewVC 1.0.0 to download a powerpoint presentation or excel file, and then opening the file I only see garbage or raw data in the file. I checked my /etc/mime.types file and the corresponding pptx and xlsx types are there. I also increased the memory limit in my php.ini as suggested in another post.

I used an svn client to checkout the file, and was able to open the pptx and xlsx files cleanly.

Is there a way to confirm that the ViewVC is reading my /etc/mime.types files correctly? Any other suggestions would be helpful in resolving this issues.

Thanks,

Tod
