MyBB Community Forums

When ever I try to edit my forum settings, I get the following:

Quote:SQL Error:
1153 - Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

I spoke to my host and they said they'll update it for me if I contact the MyBB developers and ask them for the reccomended amount it should be. It currently stands at 5M. What should it be?

Thanks,
Mr-Trainor.

Please don't PM me for support.

you need to increase the max_allowed_packet size. Increase it to whatever will make it work.

This can be changed in your my.ini file (located in program files, mysql, mysql Server) under the server section, for example:

[mysqld]

max_allowed_packet=10M
