Have you added zip and rar to the allowed file types?

Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'zip|rar';

I have added zip and rar to the allowed file types.

Code:
$config['allowed_types'] = 'rar|zip';

I've opened application/config/mimes.php
and added:

Code:
'rar'=> 'application/x-rar-compressed'

or:

Code:
'rar'   =>  array('application/x-rar','application/x-rar-compressed')

but it's still incorrect. I can't upload RAR and ZIP files!

Are you able to upload other ASCII and binary file types? Cause it could be a generic upload problem (eg folder permission etc)

about folder permission: Right click on uploads folder and I've shared it on the network, allow users to change it.

I can upload file types: png, gif, txt... but I can't upload RAR and ZIP files.

I've added the following code into mines file:

Code:
'rar'   =>  array('application/rar','application/x-rar','application/x-rar-compressed')

now, I can upload RAR files,

the following code is available in mines files by CI:

Code:
'zip'    =>  array('application/zip','application/x-zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed'),

but I can't upload ZIP.

Anybody there help me!!!!

There is a bug on CI's Upload Class, there are a few threads about it and a workaround.
