ERROR 2006: MySQL Server has gone away
When trying to load a large SQL dump, I get ERROR 2006: MySQL Server has gone away.
Version 5.0: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html
Version 5.5: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/gone-away.html
Most likely, you will need to restart mysqld with the -O max_allowed_packet=# option.
A communication packet is a single SQL statement sent to the MySQL server, a single row that is sent to the client, or a binary log event sent from a master replication server to a slave.
The largest possible packet that can be transmitted to or from a MySQL 5.1 server or client is 1GB.
