The problem with the loading rar files

[eluser]emperius[/eluser]
I try to upload rar files and get error

The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed

In config file I have

Code:

$config['allowed_types'] = 'jpg|jpeg|gif|pdf|zip|doc|txt|docx|xls|rar';

and in the config file of mime types I added mime type for rar files

Code:

'rar' => array('application/x-rar-compressed', 'application/octet-stream')

and still get this error

Try echoing $_FILES['field_name']['type'] to see what mime type are you getting.
