    Do you mean the web host error log in the control panel? The file exported should be an excel file, if file exported is a ZIP file like my situation, then it has a problem, right?

    Hello,

    There is no option to export zip files only excel. If any error occurred, it would corrupt the download file. I am not sure, you can check with host or server admin to know the path for error log.

    OR

    You can enable app log but changing the 'log_threshold' to 1 in `app/config/config.php` and then export again to reproduce the error. Lastly check the latest error log in the `app/logs/` folder.

    (1) I have enabled the app log by changing 0 to 1

    (2) And then export the file again, (still exporting to a zip file instead of excel)

    I test in on my live site. There is no zip export option in my website, but after I clicked the export to excel link, the file to be saved is a zip file. Therefore I would like to seek your support to see what's the potential reasons.

    I also tested on the live demo site at https://sma.tecdiary.net/, after clicking export to excel file, the file format to be stored is not an excel file but a text file.
