Try: http://lists.mysql.com/php/unsubscribe.php Hi,
You can change mysqld temporary file location with: tmpdir = /path/to/some/directory in /etc/my.cnf configuration file (check MySQL manual for details). Make sure to create this directory and change its owner/permissions so that mysqld can write in it. Hope this helps -- Joseph Bueno NetClub/Trader.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
