Although this is not how to related to horde, I am posting this here as fileinfo is quite useful and I couldnt get it working for quite some time.
Read the [http://www.horde.org/horde/docs/?f=INSTALL.html /horde/doc/INSTALL]
{{pear install fileinfo-beta}} will not work on RHEL without the following package.
Get the latest file package from ftp://ftp.gw.com/mirrors/pub/unix/file/
Install it with {{./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install}}
then {{pear install fileinfo-beta}}
Add the following in {{php.ini}}
;Magic mime time
mime_magic.magicfile = "/usr/share/file/magic.mime"
extension=fileinfo.so
;;;;
; Note: For Red Hat Linux, packaged extension modules are now loaded via
; the ini files in the directory /etc/php.d.
;;;;
so also add in {{/etc/php.d/fileinfo.ini}}
extension=fileinfo.so
I get the following errors in {{/var/log/httpd/error_log}}, not sure how to get rid of them and if it hampers the fileinfo functioning.
