Expected result: Installation restored
Actual result: Restore failed with the error:

Error while opening {wp.26_21206.2018-12-14_07-49-12} in write binary mode

Softaculous Version : 5.1.3

Reproduces on several servers, including a completely freshly installed clean VPS.

Will appreciate any help.

Hello salman,

Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately after I replace the 'restore.php' with the files in your attachment, the 'restore' button redirects me to blank page:

https://sandbox:2083/cpsessXXXXX/frontend/paper_lantern/softaculous/index.live.php?act=restore&restore=wp.26_74255.2018-12-14_14-32-25.tar.gz

Files are 644, owned by root. Are there any other tweaks required?

Hello,

Let me clarify the exact steps:

1) I replace the old restore.php with the new ones:
archive:/includeXX/main/restore.php -> /path/to/softaculous/includeXX/main/restore.php
2) I open cPanel Softaculous menu -> Backups & Restore -> Click on Restore icon
3) I get to the black page, backup not restored.

List of updated files:
