My server just did an auto update for apache with a config file change. That and a few other things going on have created a bit of a rats nest that I'm having trouble diagnosing.

Here's my problem. I have a zipped file in a directory. When I download it, I get a 404. Firefox will still download the file, but IE won't. If I unzip the file in the same directory, now it(the unzipped file) downloads just fine.

I'm puzzled as to where to even start looking on this one.

Use the Live HTTP Headers add-on for Firefox, and examine the Content-type response header sent with that file. It should be application/zip or application/x-zip-compressed or something similar (verify this on a well-known site that supplies zip downloads.)
