ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 1: MySQL server has gone away

I am facing the same problem. I am trying to restore mysqldump file to my machine. The file have size of 2.7 MB

Answer 1

Change 3 settings in my.cnf file

Under [mysqld]

max_allowed_packet = 64M
wait_timeout = 6000

Under [mysqldump]

max_allowed_packet = 64M

That should fix it
