Hi,
I get this error while checking in xls files.

Best Regards

That file type is not currently supported.

Please upload a document conforming to any of the following file types or add the missing MIMETYPE to config.php->allowedFileTypes:

* image/gif
* text/html
* text/plain
* application/pdf
* application/x-pdf
* application/x-lyx
* application/msword
* image/jpeg
* image/pjpeg
* image/png
* application/msexcel
* application/msaccess
* text/richtxt
* application/mspowerpoint
* application/octet-stream
* application/x-zip-compressed
* image/tiff
* image/tif
* application/vnd.ms-powerpoint

Nevermind, got it figured. (PHP rookie)

However I had to play with the mime types in the config files for a while to get it right.

It seems the magic combination for mimetypes is:

'application/excel', 'application/msexcel', 'application/x-msexcel', 'application/x-excel', 'application/vnd.ms-excel',

I had the same problem but only using firefox on macosx.

Firefox on mac (and only on mac) now uses a new mime type that you should add to your config_local.php file

'application/download'

yeah yeah i know, but now it actually works.

I have a similar problem with PDF files.
However, i can post some PDF files, but not all.

What can cause this?
