MySQL Error 32: File Permission Modification Denied
Description
MySQL Error 32 occurs when the MySQL server process attempts to change the permissions of a specific file or directory but is denied by the operating system. This typically indicates an underlying issue with file system permissions, ownership, or security module restrictions.
Error Message
Cannot change permissions of the file '%s' (OS errno %d - %s)
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect File Ownership
The file or its parent directory is not owned by the user account under which the MySQL server process is running, preventing permission modifications.
Insufficient Directory Permissions
Even if the file itself has correct permissions, the MySQL process may lack the necessary write or execute permissions on the containing directory to alter file metadata.
Read-Only File System
The file system where the target file resides might be mounted as read-only, or there could be an underlying file system corruption preventing any changes.
Security Module Restrictions
Security frameworks like SELinux or AppArmor are enforcing policies that restrict the MySQL process from changing file permissions, even if OS-level permissions seem correct.
