IIS - Server Issue - Flash not showing or Flv not showing or other media not showing.

If you have an issue with certain media not showing on a web site, it may be because IIS needs to be informed of the type of file.

Adding .flv MIME type in IIS 1) Select the site to configure in IIS, right click and select "Properties" 2) Under HTTP Headers Tab, select "File Types" under the MIME Map section and select "New Type" 3) Type ".flv" as the associated extension and "video/x-flv" as the content type. 4) Select "OK" Update: IIS 6 not displaying Office 2007 files, .docx ect. HTTP Error 404 – File
