How to solve Local WP’s “Error in query (1153): Got a packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes”

September 7, 2022/The Mighty Mo! Design Co./Comments Off on How to solve Local WP’s “Error in query (1153): Got a packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes”/,

I was trying to import a 115MB database via Local WP’s Adminer tool, and I kept getting the following error:

Error in query (1153): Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

After a lot of trial and error, the solution was to:

  1. Update the “max_allowed_packet” variable in Local Sites->[site name]->conf->mysql->my.cnf.hbs to max_allowed_packet = 1000M
  2. Add/update the “max_allowed_packet” variable in Local Sites->[site name]->conf->php->php.ini.hbs to max_allowed_packet = 1000M
  3. In Local WP, click “Stop Site” then “Start Site”

That’s it!

How to fix SpinupWP ballooning disk space issue

By The Mighty Mo! Design Co. | February 1, 2023

A site we host on Digital Ocean recently went down. It took me a lot of troubleshooting and digging before realizing that the issue was that our disk space was maxed out on Digital Ocean. The site in question needs ~20gb of space, so our 50gb server should be plenty. But alas, there it was…
