 * Sorry if this has been addressed in a previous thread, but I was unable to find
   any info on a fix.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks.
 * My host has enabled imagick on my server but we are getting the same error, do
   you have any further info on fixing this error that might help them?

 * I don’t think you understood what I posted. It has absolutely nothing to do with
   ImageMagick (or imagick). There is a mime-type database that is entirely missing
   on your server. PHP thinks it should be at /usr/share/misc/magic. If it is in
   another location, then the PHP configuration needs to be updated. If is is just
   plain missing, then it needs to be installed. If they can’t figure that out, 
   find a new webhost, and fast.

 * Thanks, I’m just trying to make sure I am explaining it to them correctly rather
   than creating more problems.
