Missing fileinfo

[mariantanase]

I receive a "Missing filenfo" error when trying to install joomla-pkg_gantry5_v5.0.0-beta.1.zip over a fresh joomla 3.4.1.

Solution:
Uncomment the line 994 from php.ini
extension=php_fileinfo.dll

This is not a bug. It is to prevent fatal error because of missing library in your PHP installation.

Gantry5 requires Fileinfo PHP extension to be installed, or you cannot use filepicker without getting fatal error.

So you did exactly what you should have done!

@FrugalGeek We need to add fileinfo to be required PHP extension in our documentation. Forgot to say about it when I did the fix just before launch.

Task: Remove dependency on fileinfo.

We can probably get rid of fileinfo, we are going to investigate it and remove the dependency.
