I access a msyql server (apache/mysql/php) from my w2k workstation using phpMyAdmin. I do not have command line access. When I use the link to load a local data file it responds that it is not allowed. I read the mysql docs and see it is now disabled by default. In 4.2.4 one paragraph says "If you don't configure MySQL with --enable-local-infile, then LOAD DATA LOCAL will be disabled by all clients," and just below that in another paragraph it says "By default, all MySQL clients and libraries are compiled with --enable-local-infile". Which is it? Default with or without? Evidently it defaults to not enabled. The server is running MySQL-3.23.52.
How do I run phpMyAdmin to give me the ability to upload a local data file to a mysql server that doesn't allow this? thanks, -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc www.simradusa.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." --Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 (Then why do I have 8?
