How should I tackle –secure-file-priv in MySQL?

It’s working as intended. Your MySQL server has been started with –secure-file-priv option which basically limits from which directories you can load files using LOAD DATA INFILE.

You may use SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv"; to see the directory that has been configured.

You have two options:

  1. Move your file to the directory specified by secure-file-priv.
  2. Disable secure-file-priv. This must be removed from startup and cannot be modified dynamically. To do this check your MySQL start up parameters (depending on platform) and my.ini.
