Hello! While running a PHP script I’ve encountered an error that says the MySQL server has gone away and it’s really getting annoying.
I’ve tried the following things with no success. Add these to /etc/mysql/my.cnf
wait_timeout = 28800
interactive_timeout = 28800
max_allowed_packet = 256M
I’ve tried adding this to php.ini as well.
mysql.connect_timeout = 240
Nothing seems to work.
Thank you!

Hi, what about if the error is in this line?
$link->ssl_set(‘client-key.pem’, ‘client-cert.pem’, ‘ca.pem’, NULL, NULL);
where put this mysql.connect_timeout = 300 default_socket_timeout = 300 lines ?
@matthew6d Create a file that contains the following and call it
phpinfo.phpand place it in your web root and open your browser to that page.Then you will see all parameters used by PHP and you can search for each configuration to see what setting it’s using.
Hi @matthew6d
You shouldn’t need to change anything in MySQL - it’s by default set to some ridiculous high timeout. But PHP has normally a timeout on 30 or 60 seconds for most things. Can you set the following two PHP configurations (300 seconds = 5 minutes):
