My /etc/mime.type has only application/octet-stream. Where can I find 
more about octet/stream?

Chmm, I did not know, that I can actually access /var/log even as 
a user. Sorry, for not providing the info. error.log says:

   [Mon Jun 16 23:41:09 2003] [alert] [client XX.XX.XX.2] \
      /data/www/ceplovi/.htaccess: AddType not allowed here
   [Mon Jun 16 23:41:20 2003] [alert] [client XX.XX.XX.2] \
      /data/www/ceplovi/.htaccess: AddType not allowed here
   [Tue Jun 17 00:17:33 2003] [alert] [client XX.XX.XX.40] \
      /data/www/ceplovi/.htaccess: DefaultType not allowed here

It is strange? What does it mean? Where should AddType and DefaultType 
go when not to the .htaccess file (see its full version on 
http://www.ceplovi.cz/htaccess).

Thanks for replying,

   Matej

Thanks for the idea. I will look into it later though (writing exams now 
:-).

I just meant to point out you had a typo in your DefaultType line, but
then I made a typo in my response, which made the whole thing confusing
;-)

This means the server adminstrator has not configured an appropriate
AllowOverride in httpd.conf to allow you to use AddType.  See the docs on
AllowOverride and the "Override" field in the AddType docs.

It means that the server/vhost is configured not to allow AddType &c to be
overridden in access files. In order to do that, there must be a directive

    AllowOverride ... FileInfo

applying to the directory in the httpd.conf. See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride

You'd generally want to do AddType in the httpd.conf.
