Update emboxit wiki
Enable File Uploads
In MediaWiki version 1.5 and later, the attribute to be set resides in LocalSettings.php and $wgEnableUploads is set as follows:
$wgEnableUploads = true; # Enable uploads
Allow upload of file types
- As described to
- Configuring file types at--> Manual:Configuring file uploads
MIME type validation
MIME type validation MediaWiki uses two files to check and interpret the mime type — both are plain files, with one entry per line, and items in one line separated by whitespace; they are located in the includes directory of your MediaWiki installation. If you want to upload uncommon types of files, you may need to add the appropriate information here: mime.types is used to map MIME types to file extensions, and vice versa. It contains one line per mime type; the first item on the line is the (canonical — see below) MIME type, the items following that are file extensions that are allowed for this mime type (this is the same format used for the standard mime.info files on Linux/Unix systems).
- As mm is xml, and mediawiki detects that, I had to modify mime.types as below (NX)
