How to add a favicon.ico to EZ Publish site?

I've tried placing a favicon.ico in the root (www.mysite.com/favicon.ico), but EZ doesn't allow the browser to read this, and gives a Kernel-error.

How can I then add a favion to my EZ-site?

Try something like this:

<head>
<link href={"favicon.ico"|ezimage} rel="Favourite icon" />
</head>

where 'favicon.ico' is located in design/<your-site>/images.

Adding

<link REL="icon" HREF={"icon.png"|ezimage} TYPE="image/png">

worked like a charm. Thanks lots! :D

You could still keep the 'ico' file by adding ico to the rewrite ignore list.
Your rewrite rule would look something like this in eZ 3.4

 RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|ico|js|jar|html)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ /my/path/index.php

This might be preferable as I am not sure if all browsers support 'png' as favicons.

I've grep'ed through the entire site, but can't find one single RewriteRule.. Where should it be located?

This setup will be in your apache config. So you might want to ask your hoster to show you the apache conf for your site and add this too it.

I am not sure how you are hosting so I cannot give any specific details sorry.
