Add $wgVerifyMimeType = false; to your "LocalSettings.php" to avoid checks. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PUBLIC WIKIS

When I try to upload a .doc file, I'm encountering a problem that seems to have come from an earlier version: "The file is a corrupt or otherwise unreadable ZIP file. It cannot be properly checked for security." I'm running this version of MediaWiki:

MediaWiki	1.29.1
PHP	7.1.9 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL	5.6.36-cll-lve
ICU	57.1

So adding $wgVerifyMimeType = false; to your "LocalSettings.php" file did not help?
