for Ubuntu users

I'm running mysql 5.6.28 on Ubuntu 15.10 and I just ran into the exact same problem, I had all the necessary flags in my.cnf tmpdir = /tmp local-infile=1 restarted mysql and I would still get LOAD DATA INFILE Error Code : 13

Just like Nelson mentionned the issue was "apparmor", sort of patronising mysql about permissions, I then found the solution thanks to this quick & easy tutorial.

basically, assuming your tmp dir would be /tmp :

Add new tmpdir entries to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.mysqld

sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.mysqld

*add this

/tmp/ r,
/mnt/foo/tmp/** rw,

Reload AppArmor

sudo service apparmor reload

Restart MySQL

sudo service mysql restart

I hope that'll help few Ubuntu-ers
