invalid extensions on file upload (pdf,...)

Hi,

upload with image is working correcty, but when i want to upload files (pdf, doc,...) i get a message error reporting an invalid extension.

i checked the config.php, but it seems correct. in fact, i didn't make any change on the following code :

$config['DefaultResourceTypes'] = '';

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Files',            // Single quotes not allowed
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'files',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'files',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'aiff,asf,avi,bmp,csv,doc,fla,flv,gif,gz,gzip,jpeg,jpg,mid,mov,mp3,mp4,mpc,mpeg,mpg,ods,odt,pdf,png,ppt,pxd,qt,ram,rar,rm,rmi,rmvb,rtf,sdc,sitd,swf,sxc,sxw,tar,tgz,tif,tiff,txt,vsd,wav,wma,wmv,xls,zip',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Images',
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'images',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'images',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Flash',
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'flash',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'flash',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'swf,flv',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

Does somebody have an idea ? thanks for your help !

Re: invalid extensions on file upload (pdf,...)

If you're trying to upload into the "Images" root folder, you'll not be able to upload .pdf or .doc files, because of the "allowedExtensions" settings you have for the "Image" resource type ("ResourceType"). As you can see there, the only extensions allowed are 'bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png'.

If for some reason you want to upload different files there, you need to proper change your settings, including the extensions you're willing to have there.

Re: invalid extensions on file upload (pdf,...)

It works!
The problem in my case was at server settings. I tried to increase the max allowed file size from .htaccess and with php.ini but I don't know why it wasn`t succeed. I'vo wrote to my hosting company and they put php.ini file in my root folder

error_log=error_log
log_errors=On
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
expose_php = Off
output_buffering = Off
max_input_time = 60
safe_mode=off
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = "./"
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
