Private Messages Database Error

Hello,

I'm having a database problem when clicking on Private Messages...Here is what it says:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT pm.*, pmtext.*
, icon.title AS icontitle, icon.iconpath
FROM pm AS pm
LEFT JOIN pmtext AS pmtext ON(pmtext.pmtextid = pm.pmtextid)
LEFT JOIN icon AS icon ON(icon.iconid = pmtext.iconid)
WHERE pm.userid=319 AND pm.folderid=0
ORDER BY pmtext.dateline DESC
LIMIT 0, 25

Can you please advise me on what needs to be done?

Thanks,

You or your host will need to create a /var/tmp direcotry and chmod this to 777. You will need root access to the server to do this.

From the root? If so, there is one there already...it was chmodded to 755...I did change it to 777, but it made no difference...Please let me know if that was the exact location or what else I need to do.

thanks

Honestly, if you did this then I don't see any way to get this error:

System error: 2 = No such file or directory
