[Wikitech-l] Problems uploading word 2007 .doc files
Hello, can someone please help me with this .doc upload problem? I've tried everything and even setting $wgVerifyMimeType to false fails to solve it. No matter what I do I keep getting the following error when I upload *some* word 2007 .doc files: The file is a corrupt or otherwise unreadable ZIP file. It cannot be properly checked for security. I don't know how that check can even be happening with $wgVerifyMimeType disabled, but still the error occurs?! ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Which one were you using in your configuration? Also, .docx files are essentially ZIP files with magic data inside. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

The file was a .doc, but I've tried changing it to docx and get the same result. Some other .doc and .docx files that are word 2007 upload no problem. But I don't see how it can complain when I have the MimeType verification disabled - completely disabling the verification would be no problem since only specific users can upload. p.s. this is a MW 1.19.2 on Ubuntu Server 11.10 with PHP 5.3.6 On 07/01/13 21:21, Matma Rex wrote: > On Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:47:58 +0100, Aran Dunkley > wrote: > >> Hello, can someone please help me with this .doc upload problem?

Is this bug the same issue?

Thanks, yes that's the same problem, and they have some potential workarounds there. On 08/01/13 16:51, Luke Welling WMF wrote: > Is this bug the same issue?
