Unable to find default Mime-type file when running Local Redirector Plug-in
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
If you upgrade to WebSphere® Application Server Version 4.0.1 from Version 3.5.0 and are using the plug-in, WebSphere Application Server might not find the default mime type if you use the environment variable $was_install_root$ in the host.hostname.mimetypefile directive.
 
Cause
The problem occurs because the servlet engine does not set the environment variable $was_install_root$ when it parses the host directives. Users often specify this environment variable on webapp statements.
 
Solution
Remove the $was_install_root$ environment variable from all directives and statements except webapp statements. Replace the environment variable with the actual path to your application server installation root.
