The problem: MySQL can’t create a temporary file for the result set in the given temporary directory. The solution: Alter the tmpdir variable to point to a writable directory. It requires changing the tmpdir line in the my.cnf file, usually in the [mysqld] section (tmpdir = /writable/dir, where /writable/dir is a directory to which you can write). Ask your webhost to make the above changes.
