read only tables in MySQL

[darkside]

I have MySQL running on both my laptop and desktop - I used phptriad for the install.

I am able to perform select statements on both but only UPDATE on the laptop - where the database was created.

The imported database on the desktop disallows the statement.

Access through phpmyadmin gives the statement " Table 'articles' is read only "

Any idea how to 'turn off' read only from a table?

Fixed!!

Rather than importing the db into mysql, I simply shortcut and dumped the data files into the data folder.

Since the tables could be read and SELECT was working, I presumed that all was good!

Wrong....

However, a dump, create new db and reload the dump has sorted everything out nicely! I am now up and running....

Hope this 'talk to yourself thread' helps someone else in future!
