Add the MIME Type
If you are accessing a file with a file extension that does not have permissions to be run on the server, you will receive this error along with the explanation that 'This type of page is not served.'
To fix this problem, first be sure that you are calling the correct file name. This problem can occur if there is a typo in the file extension, for example a file or URL that references test.htl instead of test.html.
If the file name is correct, then you may need to add the MIME type to the server. In the above example, we are trying to execute a file named HelloWorld.cshtm1. The .cshtml file extension is not assigned to a MIME type on Windows 2012 by default.
You can add the MIME type in the IIS Manager. To open the IIS Manager, from your Remote Desktop connection, click the Start button in the lower left-hand corner.
Click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager to launch the IIS manager.
Then click on your domain. In the central pane, double-click MIME Types.

You may need to do an Internet search to find the correct MIME Type for your file extension.

Iis Mime Type List
Sometimes you´ll find yourself in the situation that users complain about broken download links on your website but you can´t figure out why. Because the files are there, the links are good and the webserver is working fine as well.
If your webserver is an IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services) then it probably misses the MIME type for the file to download.
So here´s the solution:
Set Mime Type
- Log onto your server and start the internet information services manager (IIS manager)
- Select your server from the connections panel on the left and double click MIME-Type in the IIS section of the panel on the right
- Now you can see all the MIME-Types that are already registered and known to the server
- Scroll down to see if your extension is already registered (e.g. “.7z” for the 7z compression standard)
- If your extension is already listed there, then this is not the solution for your problem. Sorry !
- If your extenion is not listed there then do a right click somewhere and choose “Add” from the menu
- Enter the extenion – for 7z it would be “.7z”, for ISO image it would be “.iso”
- Now enter the MIME-Type depending on what extension you want to register. For 7z it would be “application/x-7z-compressed” and for ISO it would be “application/octet-stream”.
- Test your download links – if it works, good. If not you have to restart your IIS.
- You´re done !
