Database Error 13 when adding field
When Adding a new field to the Links table I get the following error:
Database Error: Unable to execute query: ALTER TABLE Links ADD HasDetail CHAR(3) DEFAULT 'No' . Reason: Error on rename of './test/links.frm' to './test/B-8.frm' (Errcode: 13) Error on rename of './test/links.frm' to './test/B-8.frm' (Errcode: 13)

Any suggestions as to what is wrong and solution?

Thanks
Rudy

Off hand it sounds like a permission problem, or a disk full problem.

I tried to look up those errors, but didn't see them, but they sound like they are a MySQL error and not a links error. (could be wrong on that though)

They are mysql errors, use 'perror' to find out what:

Code:
[root@alex alex]# perror 13
Permission denied
[root@alex alex]#
Sounds like your mysql data files have got some strange permissions.

Cheers,

Alex
