Technote Details :: Cannot create/write to file

MX RSS Reader -Writer fails and displays the following error message:

Can't create/write to file 'C:\Temp\#sql564_b6_0.frm' (Errcode: 2)

MX RSS Reader-Writer needs to create temporary SQL tables in order to function properly. If you encounter an error similar to this one, it means MySQL cannot create a temporary file for the result set in the temporary directory.

In order to correct this error, open the my.ini or my.cnf file and add the following line of code after [mysqld]:

For example, to specify a directory of C:\temp, use these lines:

Paths should be separated by colon characters (':') on Unix and semicolon characters (';') on Windows, NetWare, and OS/2. The path must be valid and the corresponding directory must have sufficient space for the MySQL server to write to. Otherwise, the error will occur again.
