Do you truly offer Drupal hosting?

In: MySQL Asked By: acondura [2

] Tags: max allowed packet

I’m asking that because I’ve encountered problems with the max_allowed_packet mysql variable because it was set to low (8MB instead of at least 32MB).

If I buy either a shared or reseller account, what is the value for max allowed packet variable? Can I edit that in a file like my.ini and overwrite the value to my needs?

Thank you,
Andrei

Answer #1

Hi Andrei,

Yes, we certainly do. That variable is set low (16MB) on shared servers because it really doesn’t need to be that high. On a shared environment, 16MB is more than enough – anything that absolutely requires more should look at a VPS solution.

Answer #2

I’ve just been informed that this is no longer true (via site5.com chat with a tech). It’s now down to 8M and can’t be changed on our managed VPS.

Answer #3

Hello,

I apologise for the misinformation, but on a shared server it is still set to 16MB. I have just confirmed this by checking the setting directly on a server.
