MySQL ERROR 1290 (HY000) --secure-file-priv option

Question

I am trying to write the results of MySQL script to a text file using the following code in my script.

SELECT p.title, p.content, c.name FROM post p
LEFT JOI         


        

Answer 1

In my my.ini I only had

# Secure File Priv.

and I tried to put:

# Secure File Priv.
secure-file-priv = ""

and

# Secure File Priv.
secure-file-priv = NULL

without making it work.

I finally deleted the line and left alone:

secure-file-priv = ""

Working correctly.
