bidabe you need to enable the fileinfo PHP extension. Depending on your hosting this might be a checkbox in your managed hosting panel or require installation of an additional package. Let us know what your hosting is if you need more help with that.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the reason this PHP extension is not listed in our system requirements might be because Flarum itself doesn't require it (it uses GD, which is a requirement), but the community extension for file upload might need it.

It's also a PHP extension that's generally enabled by default so this might be why we haven't seen many reports for this error in the past.

clarkwinkelmann I enabled fileinfo but it still shows the same error ☹️

clarkwinkelmann

Make sure it's enabled for the correct PHP version, and enabled for the webserver and not just the command line.

You might need to restart the webserver or PHP-FPM if you're using that.

Are you on a VPS or managed hosting?

clarkwinkelmann Thank you very much, I fixed that error ❤️

Quantre34

bidabe how could u fixed that error. Could u please help me too?

clarkwinkelmann

Quantre34 if you have an issue please start your own support discussion with all the error messages and logs you can find.

Even if the error looks similar it's possible it's completely different from this one. Even more do since there have been new Flarum versions since this support thread was created.
