Thread:Project:Support desk/wgStrictFileExtensions, upload still restricted

Hi

This is on a fresh install: I try to allow all filetypes for upload (except blacklisted) by setting: $wgStrictFileExtensions = false;

The upload page now states recommended and prohibited filetypes instead of the allowed ones (the wiki is in german, so the exact english terms might be different). So the wiki engine "knows" about the setting. However, when I try to upload, it still restricts me to the standard filetypes (=recommended). (The disallowed/prohibited filetypes are coloured red - no other error message).

This is not a problem of recognizing the filetypes - the wiki can distinguish between the standard filetypes and all others. And allowing filetypes with $wgFileExtensions works fine.
