I am installing formalms 1.3 on my laptop. I've xampp with php 5.4 installed and my sql.

the install is stuck at step 2 and showing the below output:

Step 2: System Check

Server information

The NEXT STEP button is disabled or not activated ..

could someone please help me in this regard .. I've checked other posts in this forum but in vain. And I am not sure how to enable or turn ON the mime_content_type() support.

BTW, below are some MIME related settings in my php.ini file:

----
; PHP's built-in default is text/html
; http://php.net/default-mimetype
default_mimetype="text/html"

; This directive specifies the regex pattern of content types for which mb_output_handler()
; is activated.
; Default: mbstring.http_output_conv_mimetype=^(text/|application/xhtml\+xml)
;mbstring.http_output_conv_mimetype=

[mime_magic]
mime_magic.magicfile="C:\xampp54\php\extras\magic.mime"
;mime_magic.debug = On



-- raghu

you are blocked at step 2 because your server does not fit all requirements
this is the missing one:

mime_content_type() support: OFF

You must enable in your php installation (php.ini file) the extension: that include the support for mime_content_type

ISSUE SOLVED .. THANKYOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I had an entry in my PHP.INI file as below:

;extension=php_fileinfo.dll

I uncommented that line (remove semicolon) and restart my apache service to make changes effect.

extension=php_fileinfo.dll

now the STEP 2 passed successfully and the NEXT STEP button was enabled. my output on step 2 is as below:

I can't seem to find php_fileinfo in my php.ini file (im using Windows server).
All i can see is extension=php_mime_magic.dll

Is there other way to get past step 2?
