The file file has to be on the local file system: fopen
Try this instead:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -out www.mycarrosse.com.sha256.csr -keyout www.mycarrosse.com.rsa.key -subj "/C=FR/ST=Ile-de-France/L=Paris/O=MyCarrosse/CN=www.mycarrosse.com"

Check the CSR content:

openssl req -in www.mycarrosse.com.sha256.csr -noout -text

And upload the files afterwards if you want.
