Iam trying to create a mysql table in linux with changing data directory to another location. The selected forlder having full permission. But I got an error ‘Can’t create/write to file’.
I googled and found that this error related to permission denied. I can change the owner permission of the folder to root using chown command. But it still showing the same error. 

mysql> create table test_table( testId int PRIMARY KEY,  testName VARCHAR(20) ) DATA DIRECTORY = '/home/Test/Sample/data';

ERROR 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '/home/Test/Sample/data/test_table1.MYD' (Errcode: 13)

What I can do??? Please give me any valuable suggestions….

       DATA DIRECTORY = '/home/Test/Sample/data';

    Write as:

    mysql> create table test_table( testId int PRIMARY KEY,  testName VARCHAR(20) ) 
       DATA DIRECTORY = '/tmp/data';

    To make life easier do try storing to the ‘/tmp’ directory as mysql has access to this directory rather than fumbling around with (chown) changing ownership.
