I can not add a rar attachment with have a size of over 1 mb

in the control panel under "Attachment Types" the max size from application/rar is 4.39 MB.

In the error page when i want do upload a rar file are many signs an this text:

Quote:mySQL error: 1153
Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'
Query: INSERT INTO board_attachments (aid,pid,posthash,filename,filetype,filesize,filedata,downloads,visible) VALUES ('', '',

What is wrong ?

Thank you

This is a server problem between PHP and MySQL I think. The database cannot handle "packets" bigger than the setting "max_allowed_packet"

MyBB allows you to set a limit on attachments, however, they cannot override the database system's limitations.
