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.
