MySQL <class '_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError'>, OperationalError(1148, 'The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version')

Question

I am getting a strange error from my SQL when trying to insert a file into mysql on aws RDS.

(<class '_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError'>, OperationalError(1148, 'The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version'), <traceback object at 0x7f34d8485dd0>)

I am running on ubuntu 12.04 desktop and just did a apt_install mysql-server mysql-client.

How can I resolve this?

mysql -V mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.24, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2

$ mysql --local-infile=1 -u root -p
