After importing a .sql dump file using PhpMyAdmin into a MySQL database I got this error:
#1153 – Got a packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes
Solved by changing “max_allowed_packet” to 10MB in the MySQL config file my.ini (on the target database only).
Was;
max_allowed_packet = 1M
Changed to:
max_allowed_packet = 10M
