Hi ,

I created a Person Form in Campaigns module . Created successfully . But when i tried to download it , got the below error .

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /home/testsite/public_html/download.php:180 Stack trace: #0 /home/testsite/public_html/include/MVC/Controller/SugarController.php(1007): require_once() #1 /home/testsite/public_html/include/MVC/Controller/SugarController.php(458): SugarController->handleEntryPoint() #2 /home/testsite/public_html/include/MVC/Controller/SugarController.php(366): SugarController->process() #3 /home/testsite/public_html/include/MVC/SugarApplication.php(108): SugarController->execute() #4 /home/testsite/public_html/index.php(53): SugarApplication->execute() #5 {main} thrown in /home/testsite/public_html/download.php on line 180

when i browsed on this error got a solution that to install this extension . I am using PHP 7 .

Adding the extensions to cpanel in live , is it safe … As it is shared host , does it affects other php projects .

When i executed phpinfo found something about mime_type . below
default_mimetype - text/html
mbstring.http_output_conv_mimetypes - ^(text/|application/xhtml+xml)

First of all, what is your version of SuiteCRM?

Have a look at some of these issues, you might find some clues:

Any suggestions…??

  1. Enable the extension in cpanel, if possible;

  2. If not, enable it in php.ini, as explained here: https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/issues/1863

  3. If it still doesn’t work, replace your code with the function chris001 provides in that same link.

This can be fix by remove or comment this function. Just comment below lines in download.php in root of your suitecrm.
$mime_type = mime_content_type($local_location);
if ($mime_type == null || $mime_type == ‘’) {
$mime_type = ‘application/octet-stream’;
}

And add this line
$mime_type = ‘application/octet-stream’;

It will work.
