When I attempt to manage a particular database with phpmyadmin I receive the following error:
Database pilam running on localhost

Warning: MySQL: Unable to save result set in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/mysql_wrappers.lib.php on line 91

Error

SQL-query :

SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `pilam`

MySQL said:


Can't read dir of './pilam/' (Errcode: 13)

When I do it via command line i get:
wombat:/home/cfarley# mysql -u cfarley -p
Enter password:

Any thoughts?

Error 13 is permission denied, check that the user mysql is running under has permission to write to the pilam directory, which could be in /usr/local/var/mysql or something like that.

Excellent! That did it.
No sure how the permissions got changed though.
Slightly disturbing.

Thanks.
