LOAD DATA INFILE Error Code : 13

Question

In my remote MySQL, when I try to execute this query, I am getting the MySQL Error Code : 13.

Query -

LOAD DATA INFILE 
\'/httpdocs/.../.../testFile.         


        

Answer 1

I have experienced same problem and applied the solutions above.

First of all my test environment are as follows

• Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bit
• mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.47, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3 (installed by just 'sudo apt-get install ...' command)

My testing results are

i) AppArmor solution only work for /tmp cases.

ii) Following solution works without AppArmor solution. I would like to appreciate Avnish Mehta for his answer.

$ mysql -u root -p --in-file=1
...
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/home/hongsoog/study/mysql/member.dat'
    -> INTO TABLE member_table;

Important three points are

• start mysql client with --in-file=1 option
• use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE instead of LOAD DATA INFILE

• check all path element have world read permission from the / to data file path. For example, following subpath should be world readable or mysql group readable if INFILE is targeting for '/home/hongsoog/study/mysql/memer.dat'

  • /home
  • /home/hongsoog
  • /home/hongsoog/study/mysql
  • /home/hongsoog/study/mysql/member.data

When you start mysql client WITHOUT "--in-file=1" option and use

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ...

, you will get

ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

---

In summary, "--in-file=1" option in mysql client command and "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ..." should go hand in hand.

Hope to helpful to anyone.
