Thread Wiki not accepting zips? 68kMLA Troubleshooting 5 posts Jul 19, 2009 to Aug 4, 2009 View original thread ↗ #1 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 - 03:50 68kMLA I wanted to update a file and get this error in Safari & Firefox: "Files of the MIME type "application/zip" are not allowed to be uploaded." I can upload Stuff-Its however. :-/ #2 Sat, 1 Aug 2009 - 19:24 68kMLA It's a setting in mediawiki, I had to configure mine at stenoweb.net/wiki/ specifically to allow PDF files for example. TL could probably change the setting, what is it that necessitates uploading a zip file? #3 Sat, 1 Aug 2009 - 19:33 68kMLA ZIPs are in the list of allowed extensions... so I'm not sure what the problem is really... #4 Sat, 1 Aug 2009 - 20:50 68kMLA It seems that MediaWiki doesn't allow uploading of ZIP files due to security issues. Why specifically do you need to use ZIPs? #5 Tue, 4 Aug 2009 - 21:02 68kMLA Why specifically do you need to use ZIPs? Click to expand... Probably in response to a comment I'd made about putting fonts in a more universal format. I, for one, use them on my non-Mac systems to make them feel homier.
