Hi Marcel

This should be fixed in the current HEAD revision; viewmtn should now
cope if it can't find the shared-mime-info database. On Debian you can
just go "apt-get install shared-mime-info" to get very accurate
mimetype information.

If you want to run the new viewmtn under Apache, you'll need to use
FastCGI. I haven't set this up myself yet, but I know it's possible;
 http://www.fastcgi.com/
seems to be what you need.

If you do get it going I'd really appreciate a configuration snippet,
which I'll include in the documentation when I release 0.06.

I have ViewMTN working happily standalone and under lighttpd. If in
doubt, run it standalone to verify that everything is working okay
(./viewmtn.py).
