That looks like a temp table problem - have you run out of disk space ?

[anarchystar]

I should'nt have, I have about 60gigs of total server space ... could it be that one folder it is referenceing? '/tmp/#sql5cc7_413_1.MYI' ?

I also get this error when I try to modify settings in the admincp

Error code 13: Permission denied

You are getting a permission denied when MySQL is trying to write to a temp table used to sort the query.

[anarchystar]

Do you know why I would be getting this error, and is it fixable?

Or am I going to have to restore my entire database?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

No you should check the permissions on your /tmp directory and check it still have enough free space.

[anarchystar]

Disk space should'nt be an issue, I have plenty. When I checked earlier the permissions were set at 600 ... I don't know if that is the correct setting or not.

Of course all was working a.o.k 10 hours ago, and I have no idea what could of changed between the time I went to bed and now.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

600 don't sound correct for /tmp to me. Think it should be 666 or 777 even.

I emailed my webhost, they fixed whatever the problem was. Thanks for all your responses!
