Try these...

Office 2007 mime types!

Apache .htaccess file add:

AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats .docx .pptx .xlsx

CodeIgniter mime types add: ( ./application/config/mimes.php

Code:

'docx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats',    // Word
'pptx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats',    // Power Point
'xlsx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats',    // Excel

I am facing with the same problem, Locally its fine, but when on remote server, The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed. is thrown. Any workaround?

[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Check your server mime types you may need to add them in, you should be able to find them in your server control panel mine uses CPanel.

Hello InsiteFX,
thanks for your reply. I checked mime types in cpanel and application/pdf is listed already.
Btw, I compared phpinfo() output from local and server, I saw mod_mime not loaded in the remote server. Can that be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
