Please somebody help

What type of documents do you have in your allowed list (In the admin settings)… and is the file type you are uploading on that list?

You mean Under Administration-> System -> Files -> White List ?
Attaching Screenshot.

In that white list , .png, .jpeg, .pdf are there and I tried uploading .png and .jpeg and .pdf

Doesn’t make sense! mime_content_type() is a PHP function and valid on all current versions of PHP.
I just tested jpg and png uploads okay.
No idea why you’d get this error!

So What should I do now?

I don’t know. I’m thinking it over…

Oh @pbakshi make sure you have php_fileinfo extension installed and enabled on your o.s!

This use to be enabled by default but I think all the defaults changed around PHP7

php_fileinfo is installed and enabled…

Still not able to upload any document.

Here’s a crazy idea that might help, clone the repo and run the docker-compose up from the openemr/docker/development-easy folder and see if you experience the same issue. If you don’t it might most likely be a permission issue between PHP and windows.

Didn’t understand how to do this

when trying to upload a an odt in the Document Template Management, i get “filetype is not accepted”. openemr v6
