SELECT INTO OUTFILE can't write to file

Question

I\'m trying to do a SELECT INTO OUTFILE and I\'m getting the following error:

General error: 1 Can\'t create/write to file \'/home/jason/project         


        

Answer 1

Here's a discussion that may help: How can I have MySQL write outfiles as a different user?

Also, please try to avoid clouding your questions with fluff. In your case, you already know it's a permissions issue, so all of your SQL joins and tables don't matter. You could have simply used one field from one table in your select, to demonstrate the problem without clouding things up.
