ERROR(PKG-006) - Mimetype Not the First
How to fix the "ERROR(PKG-006) - Mimetype file entry is missing or is not the first file ..." error?
✍: FYIcenter.com
When you validate a EPUB 2.0 package with EpubCheck, you may see
the following error:
C:\fyicenter> java -jar epubcheck.jar Error-Mimetype-Not-First-2.0.epub Validating using EPUB version 2.0.1 rules. ERROR(PKG-006): Error-Mimetype-Not-First-2.0.epub(-1,-1): Mimetype file entry is missing or is not the first file in the archive. Check finished with errors Messages: 0 fatals / 1 error / 0 warnings / 0 infos EPUBCheck completed
Download Error-Mimetype-Not-First-2.0.epub. Look at the file list in the package with the "zip -l" command on a Linux/Mac computer:
fyicenter$ unzip -l Error-Mimetype-Not-First-2.0.epub Archive: ../Error-Mimetype-Not-First-2.0.epub Length Date Time Name --------- ---------- ----- ---- 0 07-22-2018 15:42 META-INF/ 245 04-15-2018 14:32 META-INF/container.xml 236 07-22-2018 21:24 content.xhtml 530 01-31-2022 09:28 navigation.xml 703 07-22-2018 23:07 package.opf 20 01-31-2022 10:28 mimetype --------- ------- 1734 6 files
You see that "mimetype" file is listed at the end.
You can fix the error by re-build the EPUB package file by adding "mimetype" first as shown below:
C:\fyicenter>WinRAR a -afzip Hello-2.0.epub mimetype C:\fyicenter>WinRAR a Hello-2.0.epub META-INF\container.xml C:\fyicenter>WinRAR a Hello-2.0.epub package.opf C:\fyicenter>WinRAR a Hello-2.0.epub navigation.xhmtl C:\fyicenter>WinRAR a Hello-2.0.epub content.xhtml
