This common typo will never bug you again!

function var_dumpo()
{
    $arguments = func_get_args();
    call_user_func_array('var_dump', $arguments);
}

MySQL server has gone away

Permanent Link: MySQL server has gone away 1. April 2009 Comment Comments (5)

Today we had a database crisis due to a powercut. Apart from corrupted tables (because of the immediate "shutdown") we also had another problem: CLI scripts/cronjobs suddenly threw a MySQL server has gone away Exception after a really short amount of time (maybe 30 seconds)

I found this useful list, the only problem was: all the points didn't match for my case. So we came up with an own list that we worked through:

  • Flush privileges
  • Restore the User grants/privileges
  • Restart the MySQL server
  • dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (or similar)

In our case restarting the MySQL server fixed the problem.
