Hello everyone.
I have a Linux hosting account with GoDaddy with several subdomains that I am using as test sites for clients/potential clients. All of sites run via the latest version of WordPress.
Recently, NONE of the video files (.mov, .m4v, .mp4, .flv) can be found on my MAIN DOMAIN site (
http://www.eternalsky.us). I can see them in Dreamweaver and Cyberduck, BUT when I try to use a WordPress plug in to access them for playing OR when I enter a video URL into a browser directly, all I get is a 404 File Not Found Status report.
You won't be able to see the videos on my site at the moment as I am re-constructing it, but here's a URL to one of my videos that comes up 404:
http://www.eternalsky.us/img/vd0/A_normal_day.mov
After two calls to GoDaddy tech support and two posts to the GoDaddy help forum, the best they can tell me is that I have to use an .htaccess file to have Linux tell browsers how to play video files. (Huh? it was never this way before!)
So, I created an uploaded a new .htaccess file to address this, but the problem still exists.
Here is my code for the .htaccess file:
Code:
AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf .flv
AddType video/x-quicktime .mp4 .m4v .mov .mpeg .mpg
Can anyone out there tell me how much of this is correct?
Thanks!
Chaz
