AppCache Fatal Error

Appcache is working in Chrome perfectly, however in IE(11) I'm getting a very vague "AppCache Fatal Error".

My syntax is as follows:

CACHE MANIFEST

# 2014 03 04 Verson 1.0.4 #
###########################

/resource.php

NETWORK:
*

FALLBACK:

_

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" manifest='<?php echo DOMAIN; ?>/appcache/text/cache-manifest/manifest.appcache' type='text/cache-manifest'>

EDIT: I don't think it has anything to do with the size. I emptied all the resources out of the manifest so that is was just the Sections & Version & I still recieved the error.

EDIT 2: I tried it in Safari & receive the following in the console log:

Application Cache manifest had an incorrect MIME type: text/plain.

So, I guess my MIME type is wrong; how do I fix this?

Solution

  • Configuring the MIME type will depend on what server you're using. (Note that the type='text/cache-manifest' you have on the <html> tag doesn't do anything.) If you're using Apache, you should be able to add

    AddType text/cache-manifest .appcache

    to either the .htaccess file or to your server configuration (httpd.conf, apache.conf, or something else). See here. Similar configuration documentation should be available if you're using a different web server.
