Dreamhost PHP

[diarbyrag]

Suggested Change Dreamhost automatically add a .php file with a latest version PHP folder which includes a phprc file, however you need to manually insert the "extension = fileinfo.so" into the file above and outside the brackets that Dreamhost inserts automatically, otherwise it gets overwritten with any updates, they will not do it for you so I was told.

Reasoning Just saves a lot of digging aroung on the Dreamhost Wiki to find out why the file info does not work and clients cannot upload images after a PHP version update

Additional context

Can you provide a link to Dreamhost's page that describes the change necessary to restore File Info support?

In whatever version of PHP you’re using you need to alter the automated Dreamhost code in the .php folder

Just add: extension = fileinfo.so

above this: ; {{{ The following lines were automatically added by DreamHost zend_extension=opcache.so ; }}} That's all from DreamHost

You may need to login to your Dreamhost account to click change settings.

in ee the file info window should then display

After I did this I had no problems uploading files to my site,

however you may need to repeat the above if Dreamhost updates the PHP version
