Thread:Project:Support desk/uploading doc files not "allowed" but doc is an allowed extension.. help?

mediaWiki v1.17.0 PHP 5.3.3 MySQL 5.0.77

wiki URL is not public accessable unfortunately.

relavent piece of LocalSettings.php: $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; # i've tried setting this or not with same result. $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'pdf', 'ppt', 'pptx', 'vsd', 'mpp', 'jpg', 'png');

$wgEnableUploads = true; # Enable uploads

now, I've also updated the includes/mime.types file to associate docx, pptx etc with the appropriate file type.

however, when I go to upload a .doc file I get: Files of the MIME type "application/msword" are not allowed to be uploaded.

When I go to upload a docx file I get: Files of the MIME type "application/x-opc+zip" are not allowed to be uploaded.

pdf and xls files are allowed to be uploaded..

I started a debug file but I don't really get anything useful out of it, for doc files it simply reports that it was able to identify that mime type.. log output: User: loading options for user 2 from override cache.
