MySQL import csv file ERROR 13 (HY000): Can't get stat of /path/file.csv (Errcode: 2)

I hope you are using LOAD DATA INFILE.

Try to use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE instead of LOAD DATA INFILE.

Other issue might be this, please visit the following links : MySQL LOAD DATA.

When you login in MySQL do like below,

abdul@xmpp3:~/Desktop/Jiva$ mysql -uroot -p --local-infile
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 257

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> use mydb;


mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/home/abdul/Desktop/STATISTIC_T.csv' INTO TABLE STATISTIC_T  FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'  IGNORE 1 LINES;

Now load your CSV using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ,we need to use --local-infile before we load CSV in in new MySQL vesrsions, due to security reasons.

Although the above answer solved the problem for the OP, I feel I should contribute regarding how I solved the same problem. Error 13 is caused by incorrect or insufficient file permissions. In my case this was down to SELinux. If you are using SELinux, the fix for adding your data file path to the permitted directories for MySQL can be found in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3971632/1449160

MySQL requires the CSV file to be in a directory it can access.

Move your file from "/home/stockrecdb/" to "/tmp" may also solve the problem.
