Invalid Magic File

[DonP]

On my development system, the magic.mime file loads as it should. However, on the live server it is not loading: invalid magic file, disabled even though the path is pointing to it. Research shows this to be a common problem but I am not sure what to do about it. Since the dev system and server are using the same version of PHP (v5.2.1), I tried copying the working copy over to the server but it made no difference. Any ideas?

Does the user as which the web server runs have permission to read mime.magic?

Good question, I'm not sure but the other files (DLLs etc) seem accessible. I haven't used W2k Server for several years, how can I find out?

Have you looked at the first user-contributed note on the PHP online manual page dealing with Mimetype functions?

Since this site's search engine has been broken for over a week, I wasn't sure how to find anything. Thanks for the link, though, which I'll look at now.

Yes, I read all that already but there was nothing there that wasn't already done on my configuration.
