 * I’m having a similar problem. I get this error message:
 * `WordPress database error: [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_18bd_2.MYI'(
   Errcode: 5)]`
 * Followed by:
 * `SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= '2005-11-28 15:
   17:59' AND (post_status = "publish") AND post_date >= '2005-11-23 12:31:40' GROUP
   BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC`
 * Any clue? I haven’t done anything other than regular posting (i.e. I haven’t 
   been changing code)

 * No, your problem is totally different (so next time start your own thread, otherwise
   nobody will see it) or better do a search for the error msg you got. Here is 
   the answer:
