Description
Hi,
I had the same issue described in #46020, namely that all my images where missing width/height information in sys_file.
All the mentioned fixes didn't really seem to help.
Finally it turned out, that the php version on the server is buggy. "php -v" says it is 5.3.29 (I know that's quite old, but it i officially supported by Typo3 6.2)
The problematic code is in TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Driver\LocalDriver in getMimeTypeOfFile():
$fileInfo = new \finfo(); return $fileInfo->file($absoluteFilePath, FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE is not defined in this php version (per php docs it should be defined for php > 5.3)
Changing the code to
if(!defined(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE)) define(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE, 16); $fileInfo = new \finfo(); return $fileInfo->file($absoluteFilePath, FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
solved the problem. I don't know if FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE == 16 is true for every php version, so maybe we should fallback to using FILEINFO_MIME which is available.
After UPDATE sys_file SET missing=1 and resheduling the IndexUpdater everything is fine.
