[svlug] web address is 'application/x-trash'

[Tony Hartzell]

Brian,
   Thanks a lot!...It turns out I put a file called TOC.html in that
directory. I renamed it & everything works fine now!
   I remember, years ago, telnetting to the site, port 80. but it never
occurred to me until your E-Mail
			Thanks again
			Tony

It looks like your index page is getting redirected to a file called
'index.php.old.old' which some mime-type definition file somewhere
(perhaps /etc/mime.types on the server?) is serving as
application/x-trash.  Likely you just need to figure out why it isn't
just serving up index.php, fix that, and you'll be good to go.
