Moodle - Problem

[wesleyw]

I get the following error for students: Unsupported mime type: application/pdf

This happens when I have added a pdf to a Lesson Resource.

Any ideas what I have done wrong or how I fix this?

What setup are you using? LAMP?

[wesleyw]

Yep FreeBSD server running 1.6.3+ Moodle

And application/pdf is a registered mime type in Apache and PHP?

[wesleyw]

Good question I'll find out!

In moodle in a normal resource within a course it opens up the PDF but within the Lesson resource it can't load up the same PDF?

Strange.
