mime error

[irsprint84]

I m getting this error when I go into mime in iis 7.5

 

filename \\?\c:\intetpub\wwwroot\HAP\web.config

Line number: 118

Error: cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'mimeMap' with unique key attirbute 'fileExtension' set to '.svg'

 

anyone seen this?

Remove line 118 from the web.config file

Remove line 118 from the web.config file

 

I had to remove that line (in the v7.10 of web.config the line number is 124), just because the fileExtension=".svg" is for some reason not "digested" by browsers and as a result logos or icons are not displayed.

Odd, what happens when you try to browse to the icons directly? does CTRL+F5 do anything

nothing - no images displayed until the line with *.svg is removed.

for some strange reason browser does not like the mime association to svg?

You can remove it that's fine.

I had this error too - the weird thing was, I have done the install for two schools, one school the install worked just fine. but this second school has issues with this mime. Deleting the line worked OK. Both schools were installed on a fresh VM.
