Apache mime.types

Hello Managers,

Please excuse the fact that this isn't strictly a
Solaris question. I have an Apache Server running on
Solaris .6 with the standard mime.types file in the
base config directory. I need to add mime support for
.xls .ppt and .doc. I tried adding:
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel .xls
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint .ppt
AddType application/msword .doc
to the mime.types file and restarting the server as
well as deleting the cache from my browser but, I
still cant open .doc .xls or .ppt files by clicking on
them in a site on the server. I have looked on the
Apache site and also tried with the
base/htdocs/.htaccess file and adding the entries to
httpd.conf and restarting the server but am still
without success.

The mime types are defined as above in the browser
(Netscape 4.73)
Please help.

I will summarize.

Thanks,

Jo
