Hello, how can I activate to upload and "txt" file to my wiki? Thank you.

See Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Configuring_file_types.

Please note that allowing txt files (and basically any kind of text files) is a potential security problem for the users of your wiki.

Hello, I add on file LocalSettings.php

# Add new types to the existing list from DefaultSettings.php

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'txt';

But when upload TXT file on site I receive error

The file extension "..." does not correspond to its MIME-type (chemical / x-mdl-rgfile).

and upload is stooped, can you consult? Thank you.

If you want to upload files with MIME type chemical / x-mdl-rgfile, then you will have to allow this MIME type. Does Manual:MIME type detection help?

I upload on my wiki file.txt and receive that message

I add to "LocalSettings.php" "$wgVerifyMimeType = false;", but anyway I ca not upload txt file.

The problem is in TXT file encoding, I create a demo TXT file http://r.ournet.biz/1RAQ9bk and I can upload that file to my wiki, but another TXT file http://r.ournet.biz/22KgdIV I can not upload, why?
