This is a MySQL configuration issue. There’s nothing we can do from the myExperiment codebase to change it. On our servers, we changed the /etc/my.cnf file so that the [mysqld] section contains:
max_allowed_packet = 1024M
Restart MySQL and you should be able to upload the PDF. I’ll add a note about this on the wiki.
Regarding bugs, we have a bug tracker which you can add cases to by emailing address@hidden.
Cheers,
Don.
From:address@hidden [mailto:address@hidden] On Behalf Of Linde, A.E. Sent: 30 April 2009 15:27 To: myexperiment-discuss Subject: [Myexperiment-discuss] File upload error After fixing the content_types table and being able to upload a workflow, I tried to upload another type of file, a PDF file of 1.7Mb size. This failed with the attached error details.
Looking at the error and the mysql pages, it seems the db server needs to be set up to enable larger than 1Mb sizes. Should this be part of the initial setup of the db in one of the .yml files or is something that needs to be in developers.txt as a manual setup instruction? And can someone tell me how to fix it permanently for myExperiment?
BTW – is there an issues or fault logger I ought to register these problems at? Or just state them here?
Thanks,
Tony.
