Tell your host about this error and ask them to please make the /tmp directory writable by PHP and MySQL (meaning, 777.)  MySQL will not function properly otherwise.

Sorry, I assumed you knew this was something you had to use "full access" to do.

This cannot be done with a control panel or anything - not any I've seen.  Instead, you will need to log in to a shell (ssh, telnet, etc.) and type what I posted.
