mysql

It seems like every time I set up a new site I eventually see the same screen... not the welcome screen, tho I do see that every time. I'm talking about the

The max_packets_allowed screen!

If you are finding this post, you probably need to find a way to fix it... you probably don't want me to cram in some lame images and funny words... so I'll get right to it... here's my secret to fixing it quick.

1. Call Hosting Company
2. Tell them to set my.cnf, remind them it's part of mysql
3. Please find the section called [mysqld]

After a long day of work and more work I decided to do a little more work... I was just getting started in a project for a new client with a Drupal site that was in development (almost done). I was given all of the access information, however; I was not able to access the site as user1.

Well, if I can't access the site as user1, then I'm pretty stuck.

The problem was not the username that I was provided, I know this because I could see the name in the database table. It was the password, it wasn't the right one.
