Hello.
It means that your hosting space does not have the extension (library) php_fileinfo.dll enabled for the version of PHP you are using.
The curious thing is that from version 5.3 of PHP, this extension is enabled by default, before this feature was an extension in PECL, but it was discontinued. So I think of two situations:
Your PHP version is very old, so see which version you’re using and if possible update it (e.g.: 5.6+).
Your hosting disabled this extension, contact them for this to be corrected.
If you want to try to activate this extension on your own, enable (remove ;) the expression "Extension=php_fileinfo.dll" within your php.dll file. If you can’t, you may not have it installed as a module, so install it by re-running PHP from Easyapache, but this only works if you have access to WHM.
Good luck.
