Hi,

I created a script for Internet Explorer which can be installed using GM4IE (Greasemonkey for Internet Explorer) and it has the extension .gm4ie.

When I try to give the download link to this file on my server, it gives this error: http://i.imgur.com/K7Rs4.jpg[^]

page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

How do I add this this hanlder or a mime map and where do I add this? It's the hosting provider's server.

Solution 1

I assume you need to add a HTTP handler for this extension. I bet your web host charges extra for this.

Solution 2

You need to add the handler in the Server. For this you should contact your provider's server. How to add it? In the IIS, It depends of the version to know how to add it.
