mime_content_type() support: OFF ?????

Post by celticpiping »

ok, this is killing me.
I've got an IIS 7 Windows Server 2008R2, and I'm getting this dreaded message upon initial install:
Image

I've tried a hundred things, including, downloading the fileinfo dll package, placing it in my PHP folder in it's own folder, adding a PATH entry in SYSTEM Environment Variables, rebooting..

I've altered my PHP.INI file to include:

Code: Select all

[PHP_FILEINFO]
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
I cannot make this work, and I hate the idea of abandoning this install because of this....

Help!

Hi Rich,
welcome onboard!

The edit you did on your file, from a quick search in the forum itself, seems to me the right thing to do in case of a Linux server. I'll ask the colleagues to give you some hints to solve your issue with your Win server.

Just figured it out. You need to add "extension=php_fileinfo.dll" to the Extensions section of php configuration file "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php.ini"
