favicon support

[arkid]

hi all

a not so important question but one thats annoying me.

before ive always had no problems getting favicon files to work on my sites, but maybe this was due to the preconfiguration of the servers they were hosted on.

im finding now that i cant get my new clients site to work with favicon, only in IE.

it seems to be a mime issue. ie and other browsers such as safari dont know what to do with the file it seems. if you surf to the file itself as a full url in a browser, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 shows it with no content as if corrupt (which im positive it isnt) and safari downloads it.

Firefox works with it though. Does this mean it cant be a mime issue? Ive added AddType commands to a vhost.conf file in my plesk folder structure and then had the plesk server restart and recompile its httpd.include file.

It seems once the httpd.include has been rewritten that the single line I had added to vhosts.conf isnt updated into it.

Do I need to specify any content to add such a command?

My vhost.conf consists only of...


AddType image/vnd.microsoft.icon .ico


Thanks for any ideas!

Hi there: httpd.include is rewritten by plesk on a regular basis, do not put anything in there.. Better edit your domain vhost.conf or put .htaccess, or even adjustment of httpd.conf is possible.. However, the favicon issue has had some cases in the past:

You see, usually you just place an image file called favicon.ico in the root directory of your website, however in Plesk this may not work. Try clearing your browser cache first; then you may try to replace (or remove?) the plesk favicon file (the one with the red plesk logo):
/usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/favicon.ico
To stop Plesk favicon from re-emerging on the new sites, you may want to manually change the default Plesk domain skeleton which inlcudes the Plesk favicon.ico, it is located in /var/www/vhosts/.skel/0/ (hidden dir viewed with "ls -la" command). Hope this helps a bit. Good luck!
