protocol packets out of order - mysql

Question

I recently uploaded my node.js app on A2 Hosting and I get this error :
{ Error: Packets out of order. Got: 80 Expected: 0
at Parser.write (/home/westudec/public_html/myapp/node_modules/mysql/lib/protocol/Parser.js:42:19)

at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10) code: 'PROTOCOL_PACKETS_OUT_OF_ORDER', fatal: true }
I get that error from this code :
var connection = mysql.createConnection(connDB);
connection.connect();
connection.query(`SELECT * FROM action`, function(err, data){
if(err) return console.error(err);
else {
console.log("data : ", data);
}
})
On my localhost it works perfectly but on the server I get that error. The documentation about this error is very poor.
Does someone have an idea ?
Thank you

You need to increase mysql max_allowed_packet parameter in mysql configuration file (my.cnf) by the next way:
max_allowed_packet=500M
