PHPMyAdmin saying: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

Question

I am an Java developer new to MySQL.

I want to perform Load data operation using PHPMyAdmin. Load data scripts are verified as it worked pretty well on my Windows O

Answer 1

my friend. There can be few reasons of this error.

1. php.ini has wrong value for mysql.allow_local_infile. Must be - mysql.allow_local_infile = On

2. If you are working locally you can try to remove the LOCAL from your SQL query. Maybe MySQL server settings just don't allow you to use the LOCAL keyword

3. Only if you use cPanel: The problem is the phpMyAdmin that is built into the cPanel interface doesn't use the php built with apache. So you can rebuild apache all day long and it will not change how php is compiled [from cPanel forum]

Hope this will help you.
