Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_1581_0.MYI’ (Errcode: 13)

Being curios if the problem caused by phpmyadmin I try shell way :

# mysql -uroot -p

mysql>

Ups, seem same problem.

Looking log data

# tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log

I guess its permission problem and quick solution for the problem.

# ls -l / | grep tmp

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 2010-12-17 00:10 tmp
#

# chmod 777 /tmp

Recheck with shell

# mysql -uroot -p

Solution :

edp# cd /usr/ports/archivers/

edp# cd p5-Compress-Zlib && make install
edp# rehash

Try again :

edp# perl /usr/local/sbin/mysqlblasy.pl

edp# cd /data/db2/
edp# ls
localhost_2008_10_06-16_15_30.tar.gz
edp#

Yes, it works
