Uploading .docx using mime types

I've been using the built-in mimeTypesvalidator for uploading files through Yii. I can't seem to get .docx files or .rtf files to be accepted though. Currently I have this code:

Model

array('file', 'file', 'on' => 'insert', 'safe'=>true, 'maxSize'=> 512000, 'maxFiles'=> 1, 
                    'mimeTypes' => 'application/msword, application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document, text/rtf, text/plain',
                    'tooLarge'=> 'File cannot be larger than 500KB.',
                    'wrongMimeType'=> 'Format must be:<code>.doc</code>  <code>.docx</code> <code>.txt</code> <code>.rtf</code>'),

I've added the .docx extension to Yii's mimeTypes.php file with this line:

'docx'=>'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',

I've also added this to my apache/conf/mime.type

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx

I've also read around on the topic and seen that often these files are regarded as zips and added the mimeType application/octet-stream and application/zip and it still won't upload.

I've also echoed out the mime_type Yii is seeing and it matches the settings I have inside the model.

I'm just a bit lost on what else and where else to try and fix this. So any help from more experienced people would be great

Thanks

Jonny

If you look at the implementation of CFileValidator::validateFile() you'll notice that Yii will either use finfo_file() (since PHP 5.3.0) or mime_content_type() to find out the MIME type of your file.

So if you check your PHP version, you can debug further or supply your custom magic file.
