 * I installed WordPress the other day with (seemingly) no problems. Now there I
   have this error message:
 * WordPress database error: [Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_17d6_0.MYI’ (
   Errcode: 13)]
    SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <=‘
   2006-02-20 18:20:59’ AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_author = 1 AND post_status!
   = ‘draft’ AND post_status != ‘static’) AND post_status != “attachment” GROUP 
   BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10
 * I’m not really a programmer so I have no idea what this means. I just know I 
   can’t seem to post anything either. Any idea what this means?
