  • Sorry I made a mistake in my first comment It should be chmod -R 777 var – Raphael at Digital Pianism May 31 '16 at 6:56
  • when giving chmod -R 777 var permission it gives error like chmod: Unable to change file mode on var/import: Operation not permitted – Sruthi May 31 '16 at 7:12
  • What if you run sudo chmod -R 777 var ? Do you have access to a superuser account ? – Raphael at Digital Pianism May 31 '16 at 7:13

I had the same problem.

It happens that the csv file had a starting utf-8 char, so that's why didn't load the file.

The way I've solved this: try to edit manually csv file with an editor like Notepad++ and delete and rewrite the first char of the first row.

Hope it helps you.
