On Ubuntu / Debian fileinfo is supposedly installed and enabled by default, so I find your problem a bit puzzling.

I suggest to check if in the file php.ini you have the following line, and if not then add it :

extension=fileinfo.so

If the file is commented out, just delete the ; at the beginning of the line.

If you still have a problem, check if you have the shared library fileinfo.so in the ext folder of PHP.

  • Something may be wrong with fileinfo.so. My guess would be a missing dependency. For checking see this post. – harrymc Sep 27 '18 at 16:43
