title: MySQL Error 2006 (HY000) at line 406: MySQL server has gone away
body: <p>I have a MYSQL dump from a database that I am trying to move to a new db server. When I try to import my sql dump, I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MySQL Error 2006 (HY000) at line 406: MySQL server has gone away
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I googled the problem and most people fixed the problem by changing the value of wait_timeout. However, my current value is set to 28800 (8 hours) and the error appears in less than 8 seconds when I run the import.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried setting the value of max_allowed_packet to 1073741824 but that also did not fix the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Looking through the mysql dump, there are quite a few blob columns in the dump, but the overall file size is only 6 MB.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas about what else might be the problem?</p>
