Thread

Hi there,

I’ve just encountered the same issue as Ryan reported in this old thread, but I encountered it in the Wiki.

Basically, my client tried to upload a file that had a .JPG extension in uppercase, but got this error message:

The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed

I changed the file extension to lowercase, and it worked fine.

I tried editing /system/lib/mimes.php to add this line: ‘JPG’  =>  ‘image/jpeg’, but that didn’t help.

Just wondering if you have any other ideas/fixes?  I’m using EE 1.6.9 Build 20100805.

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi, Stephen. Let me ping the devs on this one. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thanks Sue.

Stephen,

still awaiting a review of this thread. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks John…  😉

Still waiting on our end too.. sorry for the delay.

This is ages old, but I’m still seeing it in 2.1.3.

Hi struiling,

Indeed, this thread is ages old!

Also, 2.1.3 is quite out of date as well 😉 The current version of ExpressionEngine is 2.4

Cheers,
