For your html documents to be readable by the web server the read bits should be set for both
the user and other fields:
{svwh@giedi-prime:1} chmod 604 index.shtml
{svwh@giedi-prime:2} ls -l index.shtml
-rw----r-- 1 svwh users 864 Jul 3 23:05 index.shtml
CGI scripts must have the execute bit set for user and other field:
{svwh@giedi-prime:1} chmod 705 signup.cgi
{svwh@giedi-prime:14} ls -l signup.cgi
-rwx---r-x 1 svwh users 733 Apr 14 16:09 signup.cgi
You can tell the web server about your custom mime types via a
.htaccess file. Simply create a file named .htaccess in your
document root and add the mime type using the AddType directive.
Example .htaccess file:
AddType application/pdf pdf
