Ask Agaric: Max Allowed Packet error

Description

Also do you know about this error?

User warning: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes query: UPDATE cache_form SET data = 'a:56:{

I haven't seen it on example.com, I've seen it on other sites. I started one of the longest issues in the drupal issue queue from that error! http://drupal.org/node/121390

But as neither CCK nor Views are in use with the present example.com demo site, that must be something different!

The max_allowed_packet mysql setting can be increased on the server, so that's definitely an early place to see about resolving the problem.

On reducing the load on the Drupal side:

Where did this error appear?

Can you show the whole error?

Thanks,
