MySQL Error 3553: System Tablespace Access Rejected
Description
This error indicates that the MySQL server process attempted to access a system tablespace file but was explicitly rejected. This typically happens due to insufficient operating system permissions, restrictive security policies, or an improperly configured MySQL environment.
Error Message
Access to system tablespace '%s' is rejected.
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect File System Permissions
The operating system user running MySQL lacks the necessary read/write permissions for the system tablespace file or its containing directory.
OS Security Policy Blocking
Security modules like SELinux or AppArmor are preventing the MySQL process from accessing the tablespace files, even if standard file permissions are correct.
Misconfigured Data Directory
The MySQL server's 'datadir' or 'innodb_data_home_dir' configuration points to an incorrect or inaccessible location for the system tablespace.
Corrupt Tablespace File
The system tablespace file itself might be corrupted or in an inconsistent state, leading to access rejection.
