Hi Rosanna,

I've just checked another webserver I had this problem with, this is how I got around it (bear in mind that prior to this I had absolutely no apache experience, so apologies if this is the wrong way to approach this). In my .htaccess file in my web root I've added the following:

AddType application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx

I think you can put this into a .conf file. (httpd.conf?)

Give that a shot, and let us know how you get on :)

Regards,

David

Hi David,

Thank you very much for your reply. I tried what it told me to do on the website, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. The apache server (apache2) is running on a linux server.

Hi,

The new office 2007 format differs a lot from previous versions (open XML I think?)

Either way I had this problem with a website I was hosting off apache, so this issue isn't specific to OTRS (afaik), but with apache itself.

Regards,

David

Can somebody tell me why office 2007 documents, i.e. word and excel open as zip files when attached to an OTRS call.

Thanks,
