importing address book in roundcube doesn't do anything

csv addressbook roundcube
Aptivus picture Aptivus · Dec 9, 2013 · Viewed 16.5k times · Source

I implemented roundcube mail as a mail manager on a virtual private server of mine. Everything works fine, but the address book import utility. After extracting the CSV file from my desktop pc address book, I follow the instruction to import contacts: address book, import, browse, import button. The procedure works until "browse". When I press the import button, it reloads the import page and no contact has been imported. do you have any experience about that? Am I missing anything in the roundcube config? Maybe a tmp folder where to upload csv, vcf files? Permissions? I have checkd and I have a tmp folder in the root of roundcube, set to 777. Users of my server are getting frustrated and really don't know what's not working. Thank for your preciuos help.

Use the right columns: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/program/localization/en_US/csv2vcard.inc The .csv MUST look like this (header line is absolutely necessary!) The import is case sensitive.

"First Name","Last Name","Display Name","E-mail Address"
"John","Doe","John Doe (private)","[email protected]"

Fields separated by ,
Enclosed by "
