Unable to host Google Earth .kmz file on my site. Help?

| Robert J Batina 2005-10-27, 5:48 pm |
| I was just wondering if anyone else has created Google Earth .kmz/.kml data
files to distribute on their web site. I recently signed up with
GoDaddy.com for my www.rubbertoe.com site, and have had no problems with
their service... but this morning when I uploaded some stuff, including a
..kmz file, I've found that clicking the link or typing the direct URL for
the file results in my 404 page being displayed.
Hoping that someone else with a GoDaddy-hosted site can give me some advice.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the relatively obscure and new
..kmz/.kml file extensions not being recognized as "valid" by the host or
something... but heck... if I wanna host a file called
0f8h23u9g423.kivrooif233 it should let me do it, ya know?
TIA
Toe.

5 KML Server requirements:
http://www.keyhole.com/kml/kml_tut.html#kml_server
rubbertoe.com
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 / X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
I use apache / php and have added this line in my php script:
Header("Content-Type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml\n");
see example

| Tnx for the info... I can't get that first link to work, but I see where
you are going with the process. I contacted GoDaddy support and they said
that they'll activate KML/KMZ support for my site, but if that doesn't
work - at least I have an idea of which direction to go next.
