FuelPHP throws error ErrorException [ Warning ]: finfo::finfo() [finfo.finfo]: Failed to load magic database at '' when calling File::download(). Funny thing is I already use File::download in another controller action and there it works... but not here. My code is simple:

            $config = array(
                'path' => APPPATH.'downloads'.DS.'licenses',
                'ext_whitelist' => array('lic'),
            );
           
            Upload::process($config);

            if (Upload::is_valid())
            {
                Upload::save();

                foreach(Upload::get_files() as $file):
                    $original_filename = $file['name'];
                    $extension = $file['extension'];
                    $file_contents = @file_get_contents(APPPATH.'downloads'.DS.'licenses'.DS.$original_filename);
                   
                    $registered_filename = $file['filename'].'.registered.'.$extension;
                    $base_path = APPPATH.'downloads'.DS.'licenses';

                    File::update($base_path, $registered_filename, $status["XML"]);

                    return File::download($base_path.DS.$registered_filename, $original_filename);
                    exit(0);
                endforeach;
            }
