The Error Code: 2068. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE file request rejected due to restrictions on access error <\/em>occurs when MySQL rejects the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE command due to security restrictions. <\/strong>This can happen for various reasons, including server-side and client-side configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Error Code: 2068. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE file request rejected due to restrictions on access.<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Resolve the Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Enable local_infile on the Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure the MySQL server is configured to allow local file loading by setting the local_infile<\/strong> system variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1: Add to Configuration File (my.cnf or my.ini)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
[mysqld]\nlocal_infile=1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Option 2: Set Dynamically<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
SET GLOBAL<\/mark> local_infile = 1<\/mark>;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Enable local_infile on the Client<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Using MySQL Command Line Client<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When starting the MySQL client from the command line, use the –local-infile<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mysql --local<\/mark>-infile -u your_user -p<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Using MySQL Workbench<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If local_infile is enabled and still getting errors, you might need to enable opt_local_file<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Database dropdown menu, click Manage Connections<\/strong>. Edit the connection: on the Connection<\/strong> tab, go to the ‘Advanced<\/strong>‘ sub-tab, and in the ‘Others<\/strong>:’ box, add the line ‘OPT_LOCAL_INFILE=1<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
