MySQL Server Has Gone Away

[griffinkelly]

Getting errors after running FTP server for a while:

OperationalError: (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away')

Trying to find best way to resolve it. I tried making the SQL connection persistent in the settings.py file. Is there someplace I can close the connection when idol? Another way to resolve?

The same problem exists in the web application.
This happens, for example, when the application maintains a database connection for a longer time than the MySQL server maintains a connection.
One solution is to set the application side database connection time shorter than the MySQL server timeout.
I am considering adding signals.

You can try to change max_allowed_packet and wait_timeout parameter in MySQL server config.
