local-infile is both a client and a server flag - both must be enabled or you'll get an error. mysql --local-infile=1 only enables the client support for this feature. Your MariaDB server likely has this disabled - perhaps as a security concern.
I would inspect your my.cnf and update the value if you need this feature. If you have sufficient privileges, you can enable this dynamically by running: mysql -e "SET GLOBAL local_infile = on" ~Andrew On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 8:05 AM, Karthick Subramanian <ksubraman...@paycommerce.com> wrote: > Typo: > > mysql -u root --local-infile=1 > > I missed the double dashes (--).
