Hi,

You are using: J 2.5.24. Make an update please to: J 2.5.28
In addition an important security fix: https://docs.joomla.org/Security_hotfix ... L_versions

Kind regards, Christine

Hi Christine,

Did the update but still the same error.

Hi,
try to set a new mime type:
backend --> Components --> Phoca Download --> Control Panel --> Options --> Downloads --> Allowed Files Types Download -->
insert this mime type:
{xlsx=application/vnd.ms-excel}
Save & Close

Or set: Ignore File Types Checking=Yes(only Download Parameters)
for testing.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi Benno,

Also not the fix. I cant find the Ignore File Types Checking=Yes(only Download Parameters) so i cant test this option.

Hi,

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/17-phoca- ... e-joomla-3

Ignore File Types Checking (Yes (only upload parameters) | Yes (only upload parameters in administration) | Yes (only download parameters) | Yes (download and upload parameters) | Yes (download and upload parameter in administration only) | No) Set if checking of file types will be ignored. If yes: Allowed File Types (Download), Allowed File Types (Upload), Disallowed File Types (Download), Disallowed File Types (Upload) will be ignored.

Kind regards, Christine

Hi Benno

That is the reason that i cant find this option. We are not running 2.5.24

OK. Then find it here for J 2.5: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/17-phoca- ... parameters
I didn't check all of them, maybe this:
General:

Allowed File Types (Download) - Set allowed file types for frontend download. Default list of filetypes is not complete and should be modified to fit your needs.

Kind regards, Christine

Hi,
Sorry, my mistake. The Ignore FileTypes Checking = Yes (only download parameter) parameter is available only in the version Phoca Download v3. Not in v2

Kind regards,
Benno

Nobody has other clues how to fix this problem?
