ERROR (1109, “FXF: … specify overwrite mode

epud wrote on Oct 13, 2010

I can't seem to figure out how to solve the problem:


ERROR (1109, "FXF: to do this operation you need to specify overwrite mode")


I have tried to change the different .fist extentions ( ie. [1]) but this has not helped. I have also emptied my /tmp directory.

Anybody know how to get around this problem?

You specify overwrite mode as e.g.

foo.fits[1,overwrite+]

Thank you fitz. Worked like a charm. I was not using the "+" symbol at the end.
