[Mediawiki-l] docx and other MS2007 uploads

[Sullivan, James (NIH/CIT) [C]]

I've been searching the web for an answer to allowing MS2007 files to be uploaded into Mediawiki.  When an upload is attempted, for say a docx file, and is allowed via $wgFileExtensions in LocalSettings.php, the upload fails with the notorious "corrupt file" error.  From what I've read this is due to MS2007 files essentially being zip files and the mime type not being properly set in either the Mediawiki mime.types file and/or Apache.

If anyone has a solution that is known to solve this problem I'd appreciate hearing about it.
