In MySQL, how can I solve the error below?
2013: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0
From documentation:
More rarely, it can happen when the client is attempting the initial connection to the server. In this case, if your connect_timeout value is set to only a few seconds, you may be able to resolve the problem by increasing it to ten seconds, perhaps more if you have a very long distance or slow connection. You can determine whether you are experiencing this more uncommon cause by using SHOW STATUS LIKE 'aborted_connections'. It will increase by one for each initial connection attempt that the server aborts. You may see “reading authorization packet” as part of the error message; if so, that also suggests that this is the solution that you need.
Try increasing connect_timeout in your my.cnf file
Adding skip-name-resolve to my.cnf solved the problem for me.
I had this same issue today and it turned out to be an issue with mysql 5.6.*. After uninstalling that and installing 5.5.36, I'm not getting this error anymore.
EDIT: On another computer, I was getting this error very consistently until I set this in my.cnf:
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 32M
Well, technically, my error was slightly different:
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending authentication information', system error: 32")
I was having this problem too. For me the solution was to comment out the line:
skip_networking
I simply added the comment #, like this:
#skip_networking
And then I restarted mysql and it was all good!
Beware, this will disable all ability to make network connections to MySQL. If you are only using as localhost, it should be fine, but otherwise, watch out! :)
If you are using Mac OS X and MySQL 5.6.6 or later, the default value of innodb_file_per_table was changed to ON. Setting innodb_file_per_table = OFF might fix your issue. See Mysql 5.6 headaches on Mac OSX and http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=71960
Check your my.cnf file. set the bind-address to the server's actual IP address.
Take a look at your mysqld log file - there's a high chance 'show status' crashes MySQL for some reason.

Anyone knows what this error can be?
It happens when I try to connect to an instance.
MySQL is on.
Thank you very much.
Make sure that your firewall is not blocking anything regarding MySQL. Try to do what you are doing by shutting down your antivirus for 5 minutes. It can simply be your firewall.
To interpret the error you are getting, it simply means that your MySQL client not getting to connect to the MySQL server engine.
Another possibility:
Open your mySQL Client and verify that it si set to use the default port number which is 3306. Another thing to lookup would be the bind-address in my.cnf. Set it with the following bind-address = 0.0.0.0 in mysql/my.cnf
The problem was some heavy SQLs being executed. After solving the SQL problems everything got back to normal.
I'm trying to import csv file in phpmyadmin, but get an error #2006 Mysql server has gone away.
I have wait_timeout variable value 28800 (checked it from MySQL console)
In my.ini I had set it to 60000, but it didn't change. After restart SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_timeout' gives me value of 28800.
I tried to set it through 'set session' and 'set global', tried to import again and get the #2006 error.
I have wamp on Windows 8.1. Tried to restart - doesn't help. Also, i have changed my max_allowed_packet to 128M.
Thoughts that it could be because of wait_timeout is that phpmyadmin is working for about 28.8 seconds before to show an error.
Answer: specify in my.ini
[mysqld]
interactive_timeout = 60000;
probably wait_timeout is got to be here, but i'm not sure.
For the man, who voted this question down, if you read this - better tell the right answer next time...
Try changing your PHP/Apache time out window, i always have weird issues.
Open up your php.ini and look for your timeout settings
Also check the following link, since your running WAMP there can be some database issues:

I'm running a server at my office to process some files and report the results to a remote MySQL server.
The files processing takes some time and the process dies halfway through with the following error:
2006, MySQL server has gone away
I've heard about the MySQL setting, wait_timeout, but do I need to change that on the server at my office or the remote MySQL server?
I have encountered this a number of times and I've normally found the answer to be a very low default setting of max_allowed_packet.
Raising it in /etc/my.cnf (under [mysqld]) to 8 or 16M usually fixes it. (The default in MySql 5.7 is 4194304, which is 4MB.)
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=16M
Note: Just create the line if it does not exist
Note: This can be set on your server as it's running.
Note: On Windows you may need to save your my.ini or my.cnf file with ANSI not UTF-8 encoding.
Use set global max_allowed_packet=104857600. This sets it to 100MB.
I had the same problem but changeing max_allowed_packet in the my.ini/my.cnf file under [mysqld] made the trick.
add a line
max_allowed_packet=500M
now restart the MySQL service once you are done.
I used following command in MySQL command-line to restore a MySQL database which size more than 7GB, and it works.
set global max_allowed_packet=268435456;
It may be easier to check if the connection exists and re-establish it if needed.
See PHP:mysqli_ping for info on that.
There are several causes for this error.
MySQL/MariaDB related:
wait_timeout - Time in seconds that the server waits for a connection to become active before closing it.
interactive_timeout - Time in seconds that the server waits for an interactive connection.
max_allowed_packet - Maximum size in bytes of a packet or a generated/intermediate string. Set as large as the largest BLOB, in multiples of 1024.
Example of my.cnf:
[mysqld]
# 8 hours
wait_timeout = 28800
# 8 hours
interactive_timeout = 28800
max_allowed_packet = 256M
Server related:
Your server has full memory - check info about RAM with free -h
Framework related:
Check settings of your framework. Django for example use CONN_MAX_AGE (see docs)
How to debug it:
Check values of MySQL/MariaDB variables.
with sql: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%time%';
command line: mysqladmin variables
Turn on verbosity for errors:
MariaDB: log_warnings = 4
MySQL: log_error_verbosity = 3
Check docs for more info about the error
Error: 2006 (CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR)
Message: MySQL server has gone away
Generally you can retry connecting and then doing the query again to solve this problem - try like 3-4 times before completely giving up.
I'll assuming you are using PDO. If so then you would catch the PDO Exception, increment a counter and then try again if the counter is under a threshold.
If you have a query that is causing a timeout you can set this variable by executing:
SET ##GLOBAL.wait_timeout=300;
SET ##LOCAL.wait_timeout=300; -- OR current session only
Where 300 is the number of seconds you think the maximum time the query could take.
Further information on how to deal with Mysql connection issues.
EDIT: Two other settings you may want to also use is net_write_timeout and net_read_timeout.
In MAMP (non-pro version) I added
--max_allowed_packet=268435456
to ...\MAMP\bin\startMysql.sh
Credits and more details here
If you are using xampp server :
Go to xampp -> mysql -> bin -> my.ini
Change below parameter :
max_allowed_packet = 500M
innodb_log_file_size = 128M
This helped me a lot :)
This error is occur due to expire of wait_timeout .
Just go to mysql server check its wait_timeout :
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'wait_timeout'
mysql> set global wait_timeout = 600 # 10 minute or maximum wait time
out you need

I was getting this same error on my DigitalOcean Ubuntu server.
I tried changing the max_allowed_packet and the wait_timeout settings but neither of them fixed it.
It turns out that my server was out of RAM. I added a 1GB swap file and that fixed my problem.
Check your memory with free -h to see if that's what's causing it.
On windows those guys using xampp should use this path xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini and change max_allowed_packet(under section[mysqld])to your choice size.
e.g
max_allowed_packet=8M
Again on php.ini(xampp/php/php.ini) change upload_max_filesize the choice size.
e.g
upload_max_filesize=8M
Gave me a headache for sometime till i discovered this. Hope it helps.
It was RAM problem for me.
I was having the same problem even on a server with 12 CPU cores and 32 GB RAM. I researched more and tried to free up RAM. Here is the command I used on Ubuntu 14.04 to free up RAM:
sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
And, it fixed everything. I have set it under cron to run every hour.
crontab -e
0 * * * * bash /root/ram.sh;
And, you can use this command to check how much free RAM available:
free -h
And, you will get something like this:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 31G 12G 18G 59M 1.9G 973M
-/+ buffers/cache: 9.9G 21G
Swap: 8.0G 368M 7.6G
In my case it was low value of open_files_limit variable, which blocked the access of mysqld to data files.
I checked it with :
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'open%';
+------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| open_files_limit | 1185 |
+------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
After I changed the variable to big value, our server was alive again :
[mysqld]
open_files_limit = 100000
This generally indicates MySQL server connectivity issues or timeouts.
Can generally be solved by changing wait_timeout and max_allowed_packet in my.cnf or similar.
I would suggest these values:
wait_timeout = 28800
max_allowed_packet = 8M
If you are using the 64Bit WAMPSERVER, please search for multiple occurrences of max_allowed_packet because WAMP uses the value set under [wampmysqld64] and not the value set under [mysqldump], which for me was the issue, I was updating the wrong one. Set this to something like max_allowed_packet = 64M.
Hopefully this helps other Wampserver-users out there.
There is an easier way if you are using XAMPP.
Open the XAMPP control panel, and click on the config button in mysql section.
Now click on the my.ini and it will open in the editor. Update the max_allowed_packet to your required size.
Then restart the mysql service. Click on stop on the Mysql service click start again. Wait for a few minutes.
Then try to run your Mysql query again. Hope it will work.
It's always a good idea to check the logs of the Mysql server, for the reason why it went away.
It will tell you.
MAMP 5.3, you will not find my.cnf and adding them does not work as that max_allowed_packet is stored in variables.
One solution can be:
Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
Go to SQL tab
Run SHOW VARIABLES and check the values, if it is small then run with big values
Run the following query, it set max_allowed_packet to 7gb:
set global max_allowed_packet=268435456;
For some, you may need to increase the following values as well:
set global wait_timeout = 600;
set innodb_log_file_size =268435456;
For Vagrant Box, make sure you allocate enough memory to the box
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.memory = "4096"
end
This might be a problem of your .sql file size.
If you are using xampp. Go to the xampp control panel -> Click MySql config -> Open my.ini.
Increase the packet size.
max_allowed_packet = 2M -> 10M
The unlikely scenario is you have a firewall between the client and the server that forces TCP reset into the connection.
I had that issue, and I found our corporate F5 firewall was configured to terminate inactive sessions that are idle for more than 5 mins.
Once again, this is the unlikely scenario.
uncomment the ligne below in your my.ini/my.cnf, this will split your large file into smaller portion
# binary logging format - mixed recommended
# binlog_format=mixed
TO
# binary logging format - mixed recommended
binlog_format=mixed
I found the solution to "#2006 - MySQL server has gone away" this error.
Solution is just you have to check two files
config.inc.php
config.sample.inc.php
Path of these files in windows is
C:\wamp64\apps\phpmyadmin4.6.4
In these two files the value of this:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']must be 'localhost' .
In my case it was:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
change it to:
"$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']" = 'localhost';
Make sure in both:
config.inc.php
config.sample.inc.php files it must be 'localhost'.
And last set:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
Then restart Wampserver.
To change phpmyadmin user name and password
You can directly change the user name and password of phpmyadmin through config.inc.php file
These two lines
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Here you can give new user name and password.
After changes save the file and restart WAMP server.
I got Error 2006 message in different MySQL clients software on my Ubuntu desktop. It turned out that my JDBC driver version was too old.
I had the same problem in docker adding below setting in docker-compose.yml:
db:
image: mysql:8.0
command: --wait_timeout=800 --max_allowed_packet=256M --character-set-server=utf8 --collation-server=utf8_general_ci --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
volumes:
- ./docker/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql
- ./docker/mysql/dump:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
ports:
- 3306:3306
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
MYSQL_DATABASE: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}
MYSQL_USER: ${MYSQL_USER}
MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
I also encountered this error. But even with the increased max_allowed_packet or any increase of value in the my.cnf, the error still persists.
What I did is I troubleshoot my database:
I checked the tables where the error persists
Then I checked each row
There are rows that are okay to fetch and there are rows where the error only shows up
It seems that there are value in these rows that is causing this error
But even by selecting only the primary column, the error still shows up (SELECT primary_id FROM table)
The solution that I thought of is to reimport the database. Good thing is I have a backup of this database. But I only dropped the problematic table, then import my backup of this table. That solved my problem.
My takeaway of this problem:
Always have a backup of your database. Either manually or thru CRON job
I noticed that there are special characters in the affected rows. So when I recovered the table, I immediately changed the collation of this table from latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci
My database was working fine before then my system suddenly encountered this problem. Maybe it also has something to do with the upgrade of the MySQL database by our hosting provider. So frequent backup is a must!
Just in case this helps anyone:
I got this error when I opened and closed connections in a function which would be called from several parts of the application.
We got too many connections so we thought it might be a good idea to reuse the existing connection or throw it away and make a new one like so:
public static function getConnection($database, $host, $user, $password){
if (!self::$instance) {
return self::newConnection($database, $host, $user, $password);
} elseif ($database . $host . $user != self::$connectionDetails) {
self::$instance->query('KILL CONNECTION_ID()');
self::$instance = null;
return self::newConnection($database, $host, $user, $password);
}
return self::$instance;
}
Well turns out we've been a little too thorough with the killing and so the processes doing important things on the old connection could never finish their business.
So we dropped these lines
self::$instance->query('KILL CONNECTION_ID()');
self::$instance = null;
and as the hardware and setup of the machine allows it we increased the number of allowed connections on the server by adding
max_connections = 500
to our configuration file. This fixed our problem for now and we learned something about killing mysql connections.
For users using XAMPP, there are 2 max_allowed_packet parameters in C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini.
This error happens basically for two reasons.
You have a too low RAM.
The database connection is closed when you try to connect.
You can try this code below.
# Simplification to execute an SQL string of getting a data from the database
def get(self, sql_string, sql_vars=(), debug_sql=0):
try:
self.cursor.execute(sql_string, sql_vars)
return self.cursor.fetchall()
except (AttributeError, MySQLdb.OperationalError):
self.__init__()
self.cursor.execute(sql_string, sql_vars)
return self.cursor.fetchall()
It mitigates the error whatever the reason behind it, especially for the second reason.
If it's caused by low RAM, you either have to raise database connection efficiency from the code, from the database configuration, or simply raise the RAM.
For me it helped to fix one's innodb table's corrupted index tree. I localized such a table by this command
mysqlcheck -uroot --databases databaseName
result
mysqlcheck: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when executing 'CHECK TABLE ...
as followed I was able to see only from the mysqld logs /var/log/mysqld.log which table was causing troubles.

The mysqlcheck command did not fix it, but helped to unveil it.
Ultimately I fixed it as followed by a regular mysql command from a mysql cli

I checked the tables where the error persists
Then I checked each row
There are rows that are okay to fetch and there are rows where the error only shows up
It seems that there are value in these rows that is causing this error
But even by selecting only the primary column, the error still shows up (SELECT primary_id FROM table)
The solution that I thought of is to reimport the database. Good thing is I have a backup of this database. But I only dropped the problematic table, then import my backup of this table. That solved my problem.
My takeaway of this problem:
Always have a backup of your database. Either manually or thru CRON job
I noticed that there are special characters in the affected rows. So when I recovered the table, I immediately changed the collation of this table from latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci
My database was working fine before then my system suddenly encountered this problem. Maybe it also has something to do with the upgrade of the MySQL database by our hosting provider. So frequent backup is a must!
Just in case this helps anyone:
I got this error when I opened and closed connections in a function which would be called from several parts of the application.
We got too many connections so we thought it might be a good idea to reuse the existing connection or throw it away and make a new one like so:
public static function getConnection($database, $host, $user, $password){
if (!self::$instance) {
return self::newConnection($database, $host, $user, $password);
} elseif ($database . $host . $user != self::$connectionDetails) {
self::$instance->query('KILL CONNECTION_ID()');
self::$instance = null;
return self::newConnection($database, $host, $user, $password);
}
return self::$instance;
}
Well turns out we've been a little too thorough with the killing and so the processes doing important things on the old connection could never finish their business.
So we dropped these lines
self::$instance->query('KILL CONNECTION_ID()');
self::$instance = null;
and as the hardware and setup of the machine allows it we increased the number of allowed connections on the server by adding
max_connections = 500
to our configuration file. This fixed our problem for now and we learned something about killing mysql connections.
For users using XAMPP, there are 2 max_allowed_packet parameters in C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini.
This error happens basically for two reasons.
You have a too low RAM.
The database connection is closed when you try to connect.
You can try this code below.
# Simplification to execute an SQL string of getting a data from the database
def get(self, sql_string, sql_vars=(), debug_sql=0):
try:
self.cursor.execute(sql_string, sql_vars)
return self.cursor.fetchall()
except (AttributeError, MySQLdb.OperationalError):
self.__init__()
self.cursor.execute(sql_string, sql_vars)
return self.cursor.fetchall()
It mitigates the error whatever the reason behind it, especially for the second reason.
If it's caused by low RAM, you either have to raise database connection efficiency from the code, from the database configuration, or simply raise the RAM.
For me it helped to fix one's innodb table's corrupted index tree. I localized such a table by this command
mysqlcheck -uroot --databases databaseName
result
mysqlcheck: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when executing 'CHECK TABLE ...
as followed I was able to see only from the mysqld logs /var/log/mysqld.log which table was causing troubles.

The mysqlcheck command did not fix it, but helped to unveil it.
Ultimately I fixed it as followed by a regular mysql command from a mysql cli

I am facing connection failure to MySQL problem when I run my program for more than couple of days.MySQL Error Code is 2013 while connecting to Database. MySQL server and client programs are both on same machine. I am using FC5 as my OS and MySQL version is 5.0.18. Can anybody throw some light on this?
I am getting mysql error 2013 while calling mysql_real_connect()...
Any help is appreciated.
Try using localhost, instead of your own IP.
I don't know why, but this immediately fixed the problem for me.
I would be very grateful if someone could clarify
why this worked, all of a sudden.
Sounds like a firewall issue. Have you tried disabling the firewall temporarily?
Another possible solution involves edition the startup script as mentioned here and commenting out the following line:
SKIP=skip-networking
A third possible solution is mentioned here. The user tried to access an InnoDB database and InnoDB support was accidentially deactivated for the MySQL server.
(new) I found this official MySQL article which has lots of approaches to solve the problem. Did you modify the wait_timeout system variable?
Here's an answer you might not expect. I had encountered the same problem. MySQL Error 2013. Here are the symptoms:
PHPMyAdmin fired off 2013 and error 95.
I could shell into the MySQL monitor, but it took an inordinately long time to start. I could view tables and everything worked once the command line utility started
The server took a LONG time to stop and restart.
No errors in the MySQL error log.
I work with a good sysadmin who checked netstat -tn, which yielded the answer:
tcp 0 0 [my.srv.ip]:3306 184.73.87.215:59271 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 1 [my.srv.ip]:38138 184.73.87.215:113 SYN_SENT
The IP resolves to Amazon Web Services. Some prick was leeching onto my 3306, even though everything but port 80 is allow-only. It's time to review my firewall rules.
There were no new tables, and mtop didn't show any activity, but I found a ton of these in the auth log:
Apr 19 15:14:52 magic2 mysqld[18953]: refused connect from ec2-184-73-87-215.compute-1.amazonaws.com
Apr 19 15:18:02 magic2 mysqld[18953]: refused connect from ec2-184-73-87-215.compute-1.amazonaws.com
After blocking the offending IP in iptables, the problem suddenly went away. Sneaky Bastards. The moral of this story is: What looks like bug, might be a hacker.

Check your my.cnf. Set your bind-address to the server's IP address. Solved the issue for me. NO ONE seemed to know the answer to that one!
My fix was - change 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1'
It could be a network error that caused the TCP/IP connection to drop, or the wait_timeout was exceeded on the server; the latter can actually be useful in keeping the # of open connections down, but the app will then need to handle errorcode 2013 correctly!!
