Do they even go through PHP? If not, then it becomes a web server configuration issue. If they do go through PHP, what PHP functionality is IPB using? Perhaps they are using the deprecated mime_magic stuff? They should be using pecl/fileinfo functions if they need that stuff, but I think you will have to ask them. -Rasmus
