Hi @David_Beachboard,

Gonna need more info that. What version of OpenEMR, on what OS, and how the install is managed.

looks like for windows have to do something special for fileinfo installation according to php.net

@stephenwaite,

having the same problem on Almalinux. How do i go about this?

OpenEMR V7.0.2

6

I executed the command

sudo yum install php-fileinfo from terminal

and restarted apache and the problem is fixed.

Windows only needs extension turn on in php.ini and should already be available by default.

  • Basic needs for openemr:
    extension=bz2
    extension=curl
    extension=fileinfo
    extension=gd
    extension=gettext
    extension=intl
    extension=imap
    extension=ldap
    extension=mbstring
    extension=exif ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
    extension=mysqli
    extension=pdo_mysql
    extension=pdo_odbc
    ;extension=pdo_pgsql
    extension=pdo_sqlite
    extension=soap
    extension=sockets
    extension=sodium
    extension=xsl
    extension=php_zip.dll
