Hello buddy's

500 internal server error . I have changed the file subtype => xxxx other coding is same as elgg core .

for downloading i have passed the value to this page

/file/download/(guid of my file ).

I am getting error on this place when i check with code

$file->getMimeType();

How did you change the subtype? If you didn't use `add_subtype()` or `update_subtype` the crash is because the entities are not loading as ElggFiles, so methods are unavailable.

Usually, in activate.php of your theme/plugin:
if (get_subtype_id('object', 'resume')) {
update_subtype('object', 'resume', 'ElggResume');
} else {
add_subtype('object', 'resume', 'ElggResume');
}
