Title: Mysql - Can't find file: (errno: 13)
Post by: Dipak Bhoi on December 24, 2013, 08:01:00 AM
Hello guys,

When opening my site showing following error :

QuoteCan't find file: './your_database_name/myfile_session.frm' (errno: 13) SQL=INSERT INTO `myfile_session` (`session_id`, `client_id`, `time`) VALUES ('adadasdasdasdzc3423sdfs', 0, '2334234234')

This error is occurring due to sometimes there is a permission problem for file.
Login into server via ssh and get root access. Go to mysql directory (/var/lib/mysql/).
Quote#cd /var/lib/mysql/
Check permission of your_databse_file_name  it has 700 permission and the files under this directory has 660 permission.
The directory and files have the same owner and group (mysql:mysql).
