Go to the WWW Viewer Test Page to make sure that you can view
VRML correctly:

http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/documents/WWWtest.html

The VRML test button is down near the bottom, just push it.

If you don't get a VRML scene, then you aren't set up to view
correctly. If you do get a VRML scene, then your server isn't
serving VRML correctly.

There is a section later in the Test Page that shows what you
have to do to serve VRML. Basically, you just associate the
.wrl file type with the x-world/x-vrml MIME type. If you're
running NCSA's httpd, it looks like this in your mime.types file:

x-world/x-vrml wrl vrml

See the section called "Notice to web administrators" for more
help.
