can't upload some types of files

[Kristen Bishop]

I work for a school and I am in charge of the webpage. I have no php knowledge and very little web experience. I am unable to load files from the front end such as a .doc using the fckeditor. I can successfully load pdf files and images, but that is all. I had someone at my district who knew php help me with my problem, but he couldn't figure it out and of course he left the district recently so I have no other resources to go to. when I try and upload a .doc file it tells me the file type is invalid. Before the guy from the district left he sent me an email and this is what he said about what he had been able to do: I have found and changed all the appropriate files, though for some reason that has me a bit stumped it does not take effect correctly. The odd things about the whole situation is if I remove items from the allowed lists they no longer work as expected, but I if added new items to the same lists they do add functionality.

I have checked the file that I think is the one that gives the permissions for which files can be uploaded. All the files that I would are listed. I will try and attach that file. Hopefully it works.

Any assistance that you could give would be gratefully received.
