 * When ever I try to view my site I get the below error. Does anyone know how to
   fix this??
    SQL/DB Error: [Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_1cba_0.MYI’ (
   Errcode: 5)] SELECT DISTINCT * FROM tweaks_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date <= ‘
   2004-05-23 01:50:05’ AND (post_status = “publish”) GROUP BY tweaks_posts.ID ORDER
   BY post_date DESC LIMIT 5 NOTE: Error Code 5 = Input/Output Error

 * Matt,
    Have you consulted your web host about it? Also, it can be helpful for
   people if you post a link to your site as well, although in this situation… 🙂
   Can you access your site in ANY way? When you say “view” your site, to you mean
   after you make a post, or are you saying you can’t access your site at all?

 * I could login, post new new posts but just not retrieve posts for editing or 
   viewing. However My site is working now, but this has happened before so I was
   just wondering if anyone knew what Errcode 5 (Input/Output Error) is, and what
   to do when it happens. To me it sounds like is a server problem??
