How to add mime types to an htaccess file?

Question

I'm having an issue adding a mime type to my server. This is my current .htaccess: ``` AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/pass/.htpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName "Mockups" require valid-user ``` I want to add this: ``` AddType audio/mpeg .mp3 ``` But when I do, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. I then reup the .htaccess file without the "AddType" line and it works fine again. What could be the issue?

Accepted Answer

You need

```
AllowOverride FileInfo
```

in your virtualhost configuration and for the directory in which the .htaccess file is located, to be able to use AddType directive.
