I have been trying to validate my site with xhtml 1.1 and I am supposed to serve it as an application vs. text/html...

1. It recommends changing to .xml or .xhtml extension but when I do this in my home folder it doesn't recognize the extension and calls is text/generic.
2. Yes, i have added the mime type in apache, but I don't know why it doesn't recognize it?? It recognized a pearl script I made.
3. I also tried adding a perl script to the top of my pages to declare mime type but it doesn't seem to be working.

How can I get cpanel to recognize these files and serve them properly. Im a newb, thanks!

"It"—you have a lot of "it"s in your post. Most seem to be referencing the validator. If so, what validator are you using to try and validate your file(s) with?

the wc3 validator. I check out on css, but am having problems with xhtml.

The information from the validator says the following:


It states that the text/html MIME type can be used for XML (XHTML) documents, as long as you put the XML declaration shown on the third bullet point at the top of your document.
