    Overview

    If you try to attach an .mdb (2002-2003 Microsoft Access file) file to MindTouch where MindTouch is installed on Windows, it throws a 404.7 error

    Symptoms

    HTTP Error 404.7 - Not Found
    The request filtering module is configured to deny the file extension.

     

    Resolution

    1. Login to the Windows Server that MindTouch is installed on
    2. Edit the following file:
      System32/inetsvr/config/ApplicationHost.config
    3. Search for mdb and you'll find the following line:
      <add fileExtension=".mdb" allowed="false" />
    4. Change the false to true so it looks like this:
      <add fileExtension=".mdb" allowed="true" />
    5. Restart IIS

    Now when you attach a mdb file it will not throw an error.

    Does this mean you can store and query a .mdb file on the same server you are running MT?
