#22912 [Bgs]: --enable-mime-magic won't activate mime_magic

ID: 22912 User updated by: magz at bop dot nu Reported By: magz at bop dot nu Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.2RC1 New Comment: Perhaps the online manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php) should be updated with this information as well before 4.3.2 is being released. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 09:26:23] sniper@php.net And like Moriyoshi already pointed out, the extension only works with the simplified magic file that comes with Apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 09:25:39] sniper@php.net Doing ./configure --help would have helped: --with-mime-magic[=FILE] Include mime_magic support. FILE is the optional pathname to the magic.mime file. (it's not --enable anymore) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 08:45:02] magz at bop dot nu I got the same result with php4-STABLE-200303271430. [root@darkwing php4-STABLE-200303271430]# slocate magic.mime /usr/share/magic.mime [root@x220 misc]# slocate magic.mime /usr/share/misc/magic.mime /usr/share/magic.mime /usr/share/magic.mime.mgc (darkwing=Redhat7.2, x220=Redhat7.3) Doesn't 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 look for the same magic.mime file? Should I specify another magic-file, and if so, how? (I suppose ./configure doesn't look in /etc/php.ini?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 07:54:39] moriyoshi@php.net Since mime magic extension is originally derived from mod_mime_magic of Apache httpd project, it can only accept simplified magic files that come with Apache distribution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 07:49:35] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Works just fine here... do you have any of the following files on your system: /usr/share/magic.mime /usr/share/misc/magic.mime /etc/magic.mime? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
