Hello.
It means that your hosting space does not have the php_fileinfo.dll extension (library) enabled for the version of PHP you are using.
The curious thing is that as of version 5.3 of PHP, this extension is enabled by default, before that this feature was an extension in PECL, but was discontinued. So I think of two situations:
Your version of PHP is very old, so check which version you are using and if possible update it (ex: 5.6 +).
Your hosting has disabled this extension, please contact them for this to be fixed.
If you want to try activating this extension on your own, enable (remove the;) from the expression "extension = php_fileinfo.dll" inside your php.ini file. If you can not, you may not have it installed as a module, so install it by backing up PHP again through EasyApache, but this only works if you have access to WHM.
Good luck.
