I am getting error when using load data to insert the query .
"load data infile '/home/bharathi/out.txt' into table Summary"
This file is there in the location . But mysql throws the below error .
ERROR 29 (HY000): File '/home/bharathi/out.txt' not found (Errcode: 13)
show variables like 'data%';
+---------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-----------------+
| datadir | /var/lib/mysql/ |
+---------------+-----------------+
Data Dir is pointing to root permissioned folder . I can't change this variable because it's readonly .
How can I do the load data infile operation ?
I tried changing file permissions , load data local infile . It wont work .
As documented under LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax:
For security reasons, when reading text files located on the server, the files must either reside in the database directory or be readable by all. Also, to use LOAD DATA INFILE on server files, you must have the FILE privilege. See Section 6.2.1, “Privileges Provided by MySQL”. For non-LOCAL load operations, if the secure_file_priv system variable is set to a nonempty directory name, the file to be loaded must be located in that directory.
You should therefore either:
Ensure that your MySQL user has the FILE privilege and, assuming that the secure_file_priv system variable is not set:
make the file readable by all; or
move the file into the database directory.
Or else, use the LOCAL keyword to have the file read by your client and transmitted to the server. However, note that:
LOCAL works only if your server and your client both have been configured to permit it. For example, if mysqld was started with --local-infile=0, LOCAL does not work. See Section 6.1.6, “Security Issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL”.
The solution which really worked for me was to:
sudo chown mysql:mysql /path/to/the/file/to/be/read.csv
Adding it for future reference.

Load data infile has always been a pain in the ass to set up and there does not seem to be standard way to get it to work but I have always been able to get it to work ….eventually except now.
I am struggling with
Error Code: 29. File '/loadinfile/file.csv' not found (OS errno 13 - Permission denied)
The system is as follows:
MySQL version 8.0.29-0ubuntu0.22.04.2
Ubuntu 22.04
The load file directory is owned by mysql:mysql and same with the file and I have tried chmod 757 and even 777
In the config file I have tried the following variations:
secure_file_priv = "/loadinfile/"
secure_file_priv = '/loadinfile/'
secure_file_priv = ""
secure_file_priv = ''
The following is also set :
[mysqld]
local-infile = 1
[client]
loose-local-infile=1
Changing
LOAD DATA INFILE '/loadinfile/file.csv' INTO TABLE table
to
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/loadinfile/file.csv' INTO TABLE table
changes the error message to:
Error Code: 2. File '\loadinfile\file.csv' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory)
Error Code: 2. File '\loadinfile\file.csv' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory)
Above message indicates that your directory where the file is located is wrong! You must define the full path:
For example In Mac If your file resides on Desktop,It must be like this :
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Users/computer_name/Desktop/filename.file_extension' INTO TABLE table
In windows
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\Users\computer_name\Desktop\filename.file_extension' INTO TABLE table
I hope It solves your problem.
Error Code: 2. indicates invalid file path. Keep the LOCAL INFILE option and either specify the full path of the CSV file or make sure the CSV file path is correct. give it a try with Full path and see if it solves the problem or not.
From MySQL Docs
If LOCAL is specified, the file must be located on the client host.
The client program reads the file, locating it as follows:
If the file name is an absolute path name, the client program uses it
as given.
If the file name is a relative path name, the client program looks for
the file relative to its invocation directory
Edited
Make sure your mysqld.cnf or your main MySQL config file has the following variables
secure_file_priv = ""
local_infile=1
And your Global variable local_infile is OFF, turn it ON.
you can check that if you run this query
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'local_infile';
if it is OFF, turn it ON
And lastly, Make sure you restart your SQL service to reflect the changes. you can do that if you execute
service mysql restart
Hope that solves your problem
This has really been annoying me. I am using MySQL on a Windows computer.
The MySQL statement that I am trying to run is as follows:
SELECT tempInfo.clientName FROM tempInfo LIMIT 1 INTO OUTFILE 'test.out'
I understand that I need to change the location that the file is being saved to which I did by finding the correct location of the folder that needs to be used and changed my code to:
SELECT tempInfo.clientName FROM tempInfo LIMIT 1 INTO OUTFILE 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Uploads\test.out';
This still gives the same error. So now I've tried to edit the my.ini file to be the following:
secure_file_priv=''
so that any directory can be use but then I am unable to save the my.ini file back to the folder because it says its denied.
Next I tried to change it inside the MySQL Command Line Client with the following:
SET ##secure_file_priv='';
This just gives me an error stating that 'secure_file_priv' is a read only variable.
Lastly I tried starting the MySQL server with the following parameter:
--secure_file_priv=''
but when I try viewing the variable in the MySQL Command Line once it has started, it still shows as this:
+------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------+------------------------------------------------+
| secure_file_priv | C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Uploads\ |
+------------------+------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I am really stuck now and have looked everywhere and I don't know what to do. It seems as though I need to change the variable to not be read-only but I don't know how to do that.
I modified the path and added \\ so it looks like the following:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:\\ProgramData\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6\\Uploads\\filename.csv'
I am designing an application in Python and trying to write to a CSV file, but I am getting this error:
DatabaseError: 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '2015-04-06 20:48:33.418000'.csv (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
The Code:
def generate_report(self):
conn=mysql.connector.connect(user='root',password='',host='localhost',database='mydatabase')
exe2 = conn.cursor()
exe2.execute("""SELECT tbl_site.Site_name, State_Code, Country_Code,Street_Address, instrum_start_date, instrum_end_date, Comment INTO OUTFILE %s FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '\\\\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\\n'FROM tbl_site JOIN tbl_site_monit_invent ON site_id = tbl_Site_site_id """, (str(datetime.datetime.now()),))
I can run this code without any errors on a Mac, but I need it to work on Windows.
How can I resolve this error?
Simple really. A colon character is not a valid character in a filename on Windows. It's not allowed.
Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
The colon character is in the list of "reserved characters", along with several others. (NOTE: One use of the colon character is as a separator for an Alternate Data Stream on NTFS. Ref: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2013/03/24/alternate-data-streams-in-ntfs.aspx
Followup
The question has been significantly edited since my previous answer was provided. Some notes:
I'm not very familiar with running MySQL on Windows OS. Most of my work with MySQL server is on Linux.
The SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statement will cause the MySQL server to attempt to write a file on the server host.
The MySQL user (the user logged in to MySQL) must have the FILE privilege in order to use the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statement.
Also, the OS account that is running MySQL server must have OS permissions to write a file to the specified directory, and the file to be written must not already exist. Also, the filename must conform to the naming rules for filenames on OS filesystem.
Ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/select-into.html
For debugging this type of issue, I strongly recommend you echo out the actual SQL text that is going to be sent to the MySQL server. And then take that SQL text and run it from a different client, like the mysql command line client.
For debugging a privileges issues, you can use a much simpler statement. Test writing a file to a directory that is known to exist, that is known the mysql server has permissions to write files to, and with a filename that does not exist and that conforms to the rules for the OS and filesystem.
For example, on a normal Linux box, we could test with something like this:
mysql> SELECT 'bar' AS foo INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/mysql_foo.csv'
Before we run that, we can easily verify that the /tmp directory exists, that it is writable by the OS account that is running the mysql server, and that the filename conforms to the rules for the filesystem, and that the filename doesn't exist, e.g.
$ su - mysql
$ ls -l /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ echo "foo" >/tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ cat /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ rm /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ ls -l /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
Once we get over that hurdle, we can move on to testing writing a file to a different directory, a file with a more more complex filename. Once we get that plumbing working, we can work on getting actual data, into a usable csv format.
The original question seems to indicate that the MySQL server is running on Windows OS, and it seems to indicate that the filename attempting to be written contains semicolon characters. Windows does not allow semicolon as part a filename.
It was simply permission error.
I am trying to run the standalone ncbi-blast-2.2.28+ on my machine (Mac) but get this error message when running blastp with SwissProt database:
BLAST Database error: Could not find volume or alias file (nr.00) referenced in alias file (/Users/me/bin/db/swissprot.00).
Here what I did:
1) downloaded the "ncbi-blast-2.2.28+-universal-macosx.tar.gz" from ncbi server and decompressed it
2) move the bin content of the folder to my $PATH directory "/Users/me/bin"
3) In "/Users/me/bin" I created a "db" folder, plus the ".ncbirc" file containing the following path:
[BLAST]
BLASTDB=/Users/me/bin/db
4) I downloaded the SwissProt database and got the following files in "/Users/me/bin/db/:
swissprot.00.msk
swissprot.01.msk
swissprot.02.msk
swissprot.03.msk
swissprot.04.msk
swissprot.05.msk
swissprot.06.msk
swissprot.07.msk
swissprot.08.msk
swissprot.09.msk
swissprot.10.msk
swissprot.00.pal
swissprot.01.pal
swissprot.02.pal
swissprot.03.pal
swissprot.04.pal
swissprot.05.pal
swissprot.06.pal
swissprot.07.pal
swissprot.08.pal
swissprot.09.pal
swissprot.10.pal
swissprot.pal
Then when I run blastp from any working directory (where my query file is), using this command:
blastp -query input.fasta -db swissprot
I get the following error message:
BLAST Database error: Could not find volume or alias file (nr.00) referenced in alias file (/Users/me/bin/db/swissprot.00).
As I read on other threads, I also tried to mention in the command line the whole path where the db is located, and to remove the .pal extension from the file names. But still doesn't work.
Can someone sees what I did wrong ?!!!!
you are storing your database files in db folder so you have to give this command instead of the one you have used:
blastp -query input.fasta -db db/swissprot
and I believe you are looking for an output in the console itself as you haven't used the -out option.
Also this will work only if the bin directory in which db folder is present be declared as an environment variable.
Have you checked the paths in .pal file?
Swissprot database that you have downloaded contains only links to entries in nr database: "nr - Non-redundant GenBank CDS translations + PDB + SwissProt + PIR + PRF, excluding those in env_nr". So you should additionally download nr database to run the standalone blast on your machine with SwissProt database. It weighs about 20 (!) Gb, but without it your blast will not work. Here's a link: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/
place all files from 00 to 10 folders into db and then check .pal file should contain 00 to 10 parts for example for nr databas its like
"nr.00" "nr.01" "nr.02" "nr.03" "nr.04" "nr.05" "nr.06" "nr.07" "nr.08" "nr.09" "nr.10"
I would like to load a data file into MySQL using the following command:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' INTO TABLE test_table
The above command gives me the following error:
#7890 - Can't find file '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data'.
I've also tried:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' INTO TABLE test_table
I also gives me an error:
#13 - Can't get stat of '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' (Errcode: 13)
I've repeatedly checked the file path and name and I've also made sure the file privilege is set to Read & Write for everyone.
I am using a Mac and phpMyAdmin.
Any suggestions on what the problem may be?
I had the same problem using MacOs and tried to change permissions, etc, but I realized you have to use the same directory structure you have using in the Terminal Application. Example: if you have (localhost/myproject/myfile.csv) try using
(Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/myproject/myfile.csv).
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/myproject/myfile.csv'
INTO TABLE `mytable`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r';
I'm not too sure what the problem is but I made it work by moving the file to /tmp/test_data and used LOAD DATA INFILE...
I have had the same issue, trying to import an SQL file that uses LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE... to import a CSV file in phpMyAdmin and got the same error message:
#7890 - Can't find file 'myfile.csv'
The solution I found was to put the file in the same folder as phpMyAdmin.
I was having the same problem
'C:/Program Files/DatabaseTableHolders/Menu.csv'
7890 - Can't find file '
The first thing I did was move the files to the "Program File" directory
It still wouldn't work
Then I changed the path address from
'C:/Program Files/DatabaseTableHolders/Menu.csv'
to
'C:\Program Files\DatabaseTableHolders\Menu.csv'
THIS WORKS!!!
For me its something to do with the path structure.
By the way I'm using Eclipse and phpMyAdmin on WAMP (windows operating system). I hope this helps.
Yes, I meet the same error.
My situation:
XAMPP + MAC OS 10.9
load data local infile '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/jsonSQL.txt' into table `ttlegs` fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n'
and this works when I put jsonSQL.txt to htdocs.
It is best if you put that text file in 'xammp /phpMyAdmin ' directory ( I assume you work on xammp) That's it. then LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE will work. Happy Coding
