Error Message - Error opening ./attach/Export.CSV for writing.
« on: September 22, 2013, 04:24:53 am »
I have a copy of Listmail i've not used in a while and whilst doing an export it's coming up with error message

Exporting users, please wait.. Error opening ./attach/Export.CSV for writing. Is your attach folder CHMOD to 777?
Done
To download the file, Click Here. You may also want to rename the file.
To delete the file from the server (a good idea), Click Here

Do as it indicates and check the permissions on your upload folder, try 755, and 777 (read, write, execute for all) and you should be fine.

Thanks,

This may also happen if you upload some old files using FTP, in which case the Export.CSV file would be owned by the FTP user and not the web server/PHP user.  To remedy that, delete Export.CSV via FTP and try again.
