In order to play MIDI music files from a web page, the web browser must recognize the file as a MIDI music file. For this to happen, you will need to add an entry for MIDI to the mime.types file:

• From the Telnet shell prompt, edit the mime.types file using your favorite text editor.

  % pico ~/www/conf/mime.types
  

• Add an entry for MIDI:

  audio/x-midi                   midi mid
  

• Save the changed mime.types file. Then restart the Apache web server:

  % restart_apache
  

Please consult your favorite Internet/HTML documentation for details on adding the appropriate codes to your HTML documents. We recommend Stephen Le Hunte's HTML Reference Library.
