I dug around the archives for this list and I found the message below from September (http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/172458)
...here is what Marko Makela told me about your situation: It's probably from innobase_mysql_tmpfile(), which is called two or three> times at startup. That function relies on create_temp_file(). Has> the MySQL configuration parameter tmpdir or the environment variable TMPDIR> been set incorrectly, or is the default value somehow incorrect? Could> it be that the directory /var/mysqltmp does not exist, and the fall-back> value is incorrect? Maybe $HOME is pointing to /root, but mysqld is being> run as a non-privileged user? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
