Thread:Project:Support desk/Zip Error when uploading

I have been trying to get a private webserver online running Mediawiki. Everything seems to be running great except for when I get to uploading files.

Initially, no matter what file I tried to upload I kept getting a error message saying: File extension ".jpg" does not match the detected MIME type of the file .

This error was a jpg file but I got the same for gif, png, pdf and zip to name but a few.

Having read articles on here and other web pages I used the $wgVerifyMimeType = false; command in Localsettings.php to turn off Mime detection.

However now all I am getting is and error saying: An error was encountered when opening the file for ZIP checks.

No matter what type of file I try and upload.

I am as certain as I can be that uploads are configured correctly and the required folders have the correct rights as I have been through multiple articles on here to confirm settings time and again.

I am running the following software: IIS 7 MediaWiki 1.18.1 PHP 5.3.10 MySQL 5.5.20

I would be very grateful for any help
