Table is 'read only'

Question

When I want to execute an update query on my table I got an error saying:

1036 - Table data is read only.

How can I fix that?

Table attributes in /var/db/mysql are set to 777.

'Repair Table' function doesnt seems to help.

Is there anything I can do with that?

Answer 1

who owns /var/db/mysql and what group are they in, should be mysql:mysql. you'll also need to restart mysql for changes to take affect

also check that the currently logged in user had GRANT access to update
