mysqldump gets error: 1

Asked by firefoxtester on 2008-06-29

I'm trying to run this command:

$ mysqldump -u root -pxxxxx -h localhost --fields-terminated-by=, --tab="/home/chiefinnovator/netflix_prize/try_this_at_home" --tables netflix ratings > ratings.txt

But I keep getting this error:

mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/home/chiefinnovator/netflix_prize/try_this_at_home/ratings.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE'

I tried changing the permissions on that folder to no avail. Do I need to do something with SELinux? Do I have SELinux? Why is this so hard.

Please help me!

Here's something from my log that may provide some clues:

Well outputting to /tmp works for now, but that's pretty lame I can't output to a directory of my choosing even with 777 permissions. I'd still love to know what's going on?

chiefinnovator@blackpearl:~$ sudo mysqldump -u root -pxxxxxx -h localhost --fields-terminated-by=, --tab="/tmp" --tables netflix ratings > ratings.txt
