hello all, I'm trying to configure madiawiki 1.18.1 for xls upload. The OS is CentOS 6.2. I've set wgFileExtension in LocalSettings.php according to manual. - It's working on a VM I'm hosting on my computer - It's not working on the provider's hosting solution (1). I have a MIME detection error while uploading an xls file. The returned error is : File extension ".xls" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (text/plain). I've red the differents mediawiki manual pages and FAQ but I don't unterstand what happens... Any idea ? Thank sin advance. François (1) - I only access to the hosted system via ftp so I don't have access to the system config.

Looks like the file command used in the host doesn't know xls. You could try uploading your own magic.mgc and adding -m FUllPATH to $wgMimeDetectorCommand.

Yeah, I find I frequently have to fiddle with /includes/mime.types - it'd be nice if MediaWiki had a file somewhere (or, ideally, a MediaWiki: space message) to add custom mime types. - d.

I talked about the magic file, not mime.types... (which already have an entry for xls)

The $wgMimeDetectorCommand is set to null so is not used for the MIME detection. François

Ok ! It works after setting 'file -bi' to $wgMimeDetectorCommand. But, why is this working with the null value on my VM ? What is the difference between the 2 ways for detection ? Thanks a lot
