Just noticed that I'm not meant to post support requests here. Apologies.

I am trying to get MediaWiki set up locally but I am getting the title error, followed by:

---------------------------------------------------------

Installing some PHP extensions is required.

Required components

You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please install:

- fileinfo

---------------------------------------------------------

- I have PHP v7.0 installed and verified the next 2 points in both the x86 and x64 directory.

- the 'php_fileinfo.dll' file is located in the ext/ directory

- I have added the line: ' extension=php_fileinfo.dll ' into the php.ini file and it is not commented out.

Just wondering if I'm missing something basic? :P Or if anyone has any idea...
