MySQL Error : Can't create/write to file '/var/tmp/#sql_11126_0.MYI' (Errcode: 2)

Hi

I have loaded VBulletin onto my site. Right now when I log into the Admin Panel and choose VBoptions...I get this error. I dont know what it means. VBulletin customer support said that my Yahoo (which hosts the forum) needs to fix it. When I sent them this information..they came back and said I need to chmod a tmp file to 777 (777 suggested by VBulletin) myself.

I dont know what to do:(

I am not a computer expert. But I do need to get this fixed so this doesnt continue and so it doesnt happen in the future.

Can anyone help me out? It would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you have ftp setup to your site?

I very much doubt that is something that you can solve yourself. I am pretty positive that vBulletin support gave you the correct answers to this question.

It is very unlikely that you will be ably to change these permissions yourself.

I would try to get a better response/help from Yahoo.

It has nothing to do with vB itself, but with the way MySQL is (not??) runningon their server.

Thanks for the responses...

Yes...Vb said that it was something Yahoo had to fix..

at first they didnt quite get it and wasnted me to di it?:cross-eyed:

however..I sent them the thread where I got customer support and I finally got an email saying Yahoo experienced "technical difficulties"..
