problem with AddHandler in htaccess

Question

i have the .htaccess file included this line

<FilesMatch "\.js$">
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .js
</FilesMatch>

it works in my localhost but it doesnt work in my host. i think problem is with mod_mime. in localhost i see mod_mime in loaded module but in my host (Apache/2.2.16 php 5.3.3) i cant find loaded module to check if it is enable.

how to check whether mod_mime is in loaded module?
how to load (enable) mod_mime in htaccess?

Are you sure that Apache is able to use .htaccess file? Usually, by default, Apache is not configured to read configuration from .htaccess file — Francesco Laurita

Try for instance to put a .htaccess file with the directive Deny from all. If it works you should get a 401 Unauthorized code — Francesco Laurita

Perhaps you're confusing AddHandler with SetHandler? It would make more sense to use SetHandler in <Files>; for AddHandler there's no need for your enclosing scope.

You can check if module loaded with

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
   ...
</IfModule>

but you cannot load a module from within .htaccess.

do you mean <FilesMatch "\.js$"><IfModule mod_mime.c> AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .js </IfModule> </FilesMatch> ?

Rather whole FilesMatch section inside IfModule

Well, of course, since I didn't provide a solution. I just answered your question about loading modules. The solution is just one string. AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .js
