We have a VPS server that we host our websites on. I have written a CMS using CodeIgniter. On one of the interfaces, I am attempting to upload a css file to the system. This worked correctly when we had it hosted on shared hosting. Since we've moved it to the VPS, I am getting an "incorrect filetype" error.
It all comes down to the fact that the server is reporting a mime type of text/x-c for the css file rather than text/css.
I logged in via shell and ran the following command on an existing valid css file (to make sure it wasn't an issue with either CodeIgniter or with php).
file --brief --mime 'filename.css' 2>&1
The server gave me the following in response to my command:
text/x-c; charset=us-ascii
My question ... is there some sort of server setting that I need to tweak to get the server to correctly identify the css file as text/css?
Do I just have to add a mime type for the css files to the server? I found the mime types file (etc/mime.types), and it just hase video types and a couple other that I have no idea what they are. There is nothing in there for css or images or html files. Unless I'm looking in the wrong spot.
I'm not a server person, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Some server specs:
- Apache/2.2.22 (Unix)
- php 5.3.13
- Server API = CGI/FastCGI
- the fileinfo php extension appears to be disabled
filepackage. For text files, they are pretty much tied to weak heuristics (themagiclibrary only examines content, not file name extensions etc) but it should not be too hard for them to prevent obvious false positives. They'll probably want a copy of the file which caused the false positive if you can provide it. – tripleee Oct 3 '12 at 6:44
