I'm Running Mysql on ubuntu 9.10, the process of Mysql is running as root, I'm using root account when logging to Mysql, which I gave all privileges, I'm using my own db(not mysql), I can create a table, but when i try to create Temporary table i get this error:
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'tmp' (errno: 13)
For this query:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp (id int);
I've plenty of space in my hard drive, all permissions are granted(also var/lib/mysql have mysql permissions).
Any idea? Thanks, Koby
I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago.
The database folder on the filesystem was owned by the wrong user.
A simple chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/database_name
did the trick!
Everything's explained here: http://www.dinosources.eu/2010/10/mysql-cant-create-table (it's italian, but it's pretty clear)
Cheers
