Psst…

In case you haven’t noticed it, beginning December, link loves will be given to top commentators at the end of the month :D

Joanna of brought to my attention that The Giving Hands was down. I logged on and found that it wasn’t exactly down, but there was indeed an error:

WordPress database error: [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_d0f_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)]
SELECT t.*, tt.*, tr.object_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category', 'post_tag') AND tr.object_id IN (132) ORDER BY t.name ASC

I’ve done some research (on Google, where else?!) and found that this error is associated with the MySQL database on the host’s end. I have already sent my webhost an email, so hopefully they will be able to settle it soon.

Meanwhile, I have also found some instructions to change the permission file on the /tmp directory, since Errcode 13 says that the /tmp directory isn’t writable, but nope, the problem persists.

Anybody knows what else I can do, apart from waiting for a response from my webhost?

UPDATE: It’s fixed! Hooray! :vodka:
