Mysql ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'tmp' (errno: 13)

Question

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

Accepted Answer

Well... in /etc/mysql/my.cnf there's the "tmp" folder for use which is /tmp (from root) as default.. and do not have mysql privileges. chmod 0777 /tmp will do the trick
