The Problem
My MySQL database works fine for my web application. However, when I try to open the database with phpMyAdmin, I get this error message:
#2006 - MySQL server has gone away
And phpMyAdmin disconnects back to the login screen. Other databases work fine.
My ax_allowed_packet is set to 16. I also tried 64, but it didn't work.
Also this error occured eventually. The database is about 3 MB in size, so not very big.
Used Software
Debian Squeeze x64
MySQL (current version)
phpMyAdmin (current version)
Question
How can I fix this error in order to view and edit my database in phpMyAdmin again?
I finally found it.
Apparently, there were some incompatibility issues after upgrading to MySQL 5.6.
In order to check for such issues and fix them, you will need to do a MySQL Upgrade.
Just run the following on a terminal:
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Enter your password, and wait until the upgrade finishes.
This fixed the problem for me.
My Reputation is not high enough so i can't comment so i will here, mysql_upgrade -u root -p worked for me i had the same issue, after upgrading mysql, everything worked. i could could log into the database using phpmyadmin but when i tried to add a user it failed , giving MySQL “#2006 - MySQL server has gone away”, Note that i also updated phpmyadmin with yum update phpmyadmin first before running mysql_upgrade -u root -p.
Now all works fine, thanks!

After I upgraded MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, I started MySQL again and I got an error:The user specified as a definer ('mysql.infoschema'#'localhost') does not exist' when trying to dump tablespaces.
I don't understand why this problem occurs. And I want to know how to solve it
I had the same error when I accidentally downgraded my MySQL version from 8 to 5.7. At the first start the older version broke something so that version 8 was showing the error above.
In my case I had to enter the docker container where MySQL was running first
docker exec -it mysql bash
Then I basically followed the steps here
mysql -u root -p
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 1;
mysql_upgrade -u root -p
This took some minutes but then everything was working again.
It may occur after some time after you set up your new system.
As a suggested solution, just try on Windows
1) open cmd.exe as Administrator
2) run mysql_upgrade.exe -uyour_user_name -pyour_password
mysql_upgrade.exe can be located at
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
Then run the following to see if the infoschema user has appeared.
select user, host from mysql.user;
In my case, such error was caused by that I had changed the host of the dba user from % to localhost to strengthen the security.
I used "abcdba" with DDL right to create db schema, and used "abc" with CURD right for the Web service to use the DB. After the change, the read operations were OK but the write operations failed with the error message in the OP.
Flush privilege or restarting the server did not solve the problem. Then I changed to host of the dba user back to %. Then things have become normal again.
Apparently mysql does not like the changes of host of the dba user, and existing databases created by that dba user will have problem if the host of the dba user is changed.
Essentially, changing the host of the dba user is actually removing user abcdba#% and creating a new user abcdba#localhost. Here had come the error message, since abcdba#% and abcdba#localhost are 2 differently fully qualified usernames.
I have a MySQL database which is hosted in Azure, and I have MySQL Workbench installed on my laptop. I want to do some importing from a CSV file located in my laptop, but whenever I try to that, I get an error message saying:
The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
I did some online searching, and I found out that I need to run the following command:
mysql -u myuser -p --local-infile somedatabase
But, I don't know where I have to run it, and how, while as I said my database is hosted in Azure.
mysql is just the commandline executable of the MySql client. And most probably it is even part of the MySql workbech - just check the MySQL Workbech working folder. But the result will not be different is my guess.
The best way you can manage Import/Export for MySQL is to use a Free Tier WebSite and Install the phpMyAdmin extension.
I’m trying to import a 4GB+ SQL to MySQL 5.6 (64-bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit)
The problem is I after a few seconds (), get this message:
ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 204: MySQL server has gone away
It does import, but it only the first 3 tables (the first 2 and the 3rd table just the structure.
I’ve been trying this command:
mysql -u root -p firedb < C:\database_2013-11-12.sql
I tried a lot of things I could find here on stackoverflow with no success yet:
[mysqld]
innodb_file_per_table
max_allowed_packet=2048M
wait_timeout=3600
net_read_timeout=3600
net_buffer_length=3600
The SQL file was created on “MySQL 5.1.72-2-log (Debian)” using this command:
mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases
I have also tried setting --max_allowed_packet when running the command like this:
mysql --max_allowed_packet=2048M -u root -p --all-databases
The Documentation states:
The most common reason for the MySQL server has gone away error is
that the server timed out and closed the connection.
By default, the server closes the connection after eight hours if
nothing has happened. You can change the time limit by setting the
wait_timeout variable when you start mysqld. See Section 5.1.4,
“Server System Variables”.
If you have a script, you just have to issue the query again for the
client to do an automatic reconnection. This assumes that you have
automatic reconnection in the client enabled (which is the default for
the mysql command-line client).
So i would start with increasing the timeout.
And if this does not help read int he attached documentation link for the rest of reasons for server has gone away error.
I am trying to setup phpMyAdmin to use with a remote MySQL databases on Scientific Linux release 6.2.
If I use the mysql command line to connect to the remote database it works great but if I use mysqladmin I am getting "#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server".
I have found if I do a:
setenforce 0
It will work from myphpadmin to my remote database but once I reboot or set Scientific Linux setenforce back to one it stops working again..
I know setenforce 0 is not the right thing to do but can someone please give me details steps on how to get this working the right way... thanks I am new to Scientific Linux and been having some issues.. thanks
I got it working just now... All I had to do was setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1 and now its working
I got the "MySQL has gone away" error in phpMyAdmin when trying to display a single database.
I have 9 databases in MySQL and the 8 of them works fine, but when I try to display the one database that I want to use it fails with "MySQL has gone away" error. I have tried to increase max_allowed_packet and wait_timeout but with no success.
If I display the site that uses this database there is no error.
I am on Ubuntu and running mysql as localhost.
Any help is well appreciated.
Got it solved somehow by issuing some mysqladmin commands via terminal.
