[ciapug] uploading files with php

[Barry Von Ahsen]

I had this error with some ftp/scp/frontpage uploaded pdfs, and some 
googling finally turned up that in your apache mime types file you have 
to add
application/x-pdf	.pdf

it should already have application/pdf

/etc/httpd/conf/apache-mime.types on a mdk 10.1 box
