MySQL 1555

This error occurs when MySQL is unable to write a lock to the log table. It is usually caused by insufficient permissions or a full disk.

How It Affects Your App

The error indicates that the application is unable to write to the log table, which is necessary for the application to function properly. This can cause the application to become unstable and unreliable, as it is unable to store important information. It can also lead to data loss, as the application is unable to store any changes that have been made. This can have a significant impact on the application, as it can lead to decreased performance and reliability.
