Outlook auto config

Its Outlook Express and not Outlook that gets set up and it only works with IE and no other browser.

 

the same thing happens in IE with me.

 

Our customers are now experiencing this in IE and Firefox

 

Save it as a file with a .reg extension and execute (double-click) it from Windows explorer.

One fix is for CPanel to make the mime type a registry mime type, if they aren't already. Or, if they are, detect that it's not IE and make it an unknown registry type which will force it to be saved.

In PHP, this looks like this (a subset of this will work too):

PHP:

header('Content-type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
    trim(htmlentities($file)).'"');
header("Content-Length: ".(string)(filesize($full)));
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Description: ".trim(htmlentities($file)));
header("Connection: close");

Outlook will pick up the changes to the registry, at least it did in Outlook 2002, and adopt the new Outlook Express account, so unless things have changed it used to work in both Outlook and Outlook Express.

 

This is also happening to me on all of our servers (centos 3, cPanel CURRENT build)

Outlook autoconfig just spits the reg file's text into the browser, and does NOT prompt to save the reg file like it used to.

Has anyone submitted a bugzilla request? If so, please post in here and i will add comments/vote as well

 

I tried this and got the following error The specified file is not a registry script.
You can only import bianary registry files from within the registry editor.



has anyone figured out how to fix this?

 

Does this in IE also

 

Does this (displays in browser, doesn't save to file) on both FireFox and IE6 on my system.
Windows XP Pro, current versions of FireFox and IE6.
cPanel 10.4.0-C160

.REG file type is set to open in Registry Editor.
Tried saving the text in IE to .REG and used and editor to save the text (copied from the clipboard) in several different formats, no help.

Any ideas?

Jack.

 

Myabe I'm missing something, bugzilla is no help at all. It shows the .reg file as displayed in the browser and a few comments saying basically "Yep, same here." It's says "Resolved" which is nice, but I can't find the resolution. What should I be looking for?

 

Same here...

How is this fixed ?

 

This is a serious issue and needs fixed.

 

This is a temporary fix:

1. #pico /usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types
2. Scroll down to the line:

Code:

application/octet-stream	bin dms lha lzh exe class so dll dmg

3. Add "reg" to the end of the line (without quotes!)
4. Save changes & restart Apache.

Regards,

 

Oh, and if the above doesn't fix it, then undo the changes above and add the following line to mime.types:

Code:

application/x-msdownload		reg

If the line already exists, then just append "reg" to the end of it.
Then save changes & restart apache.

 

tried both the above and still no change
