First, create a directory in your roster folder
Give that new folder write permissions (chmod 777)
Remember the name of this directory

Open update.php
Find

Code: Select all

                    $data = ParseLuaFile( $file['tmp_name'],$file_type ); 

Replace with
(Changing REPLACE with the directory you created)

Code: Select all

                    $new_lua_file = ROSTER_BASE.'REPLACE'.DIR_SEP.basename($file['tmp_name']);
                    move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],$new_lua_file);

                    // Parse the lua file into a php array that we can use
                    $data = ParseLuaFile( $new_lua_file,$file_type );
                    
                    @unlink($new_lua_file);

Open lib/update.lib.php
Find

Code: Select all

                    $data = $luahandler->luatophp( $file['tmp_name'], isset($this->blinds[$filebase]) ? $this->blinds[$filebase] : array() ); 

Replace with

Code: Select all

               $new_lua_file = ROSTER_CACHEDIR . basename($file['tmp_name']);
               move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],$new_lua_file);
               $data = $luahandler->luatophp( $new_lua_file, isset($this->blinds[$filebase]) ? $this->blinds[$filebase] : array() );
               @unlink($new_lua_file);

If this does not fix this error, you may have a corrupt .lua file
I suggest deleting the file from your SavedVariables directory and rescan in-game
