Increasing MySQL Upload Size Limit

The default for MySQL upload for MySQL 5.1 is 1Mb. This can be changed by following these steps.

Steps For Resolution

Step 1 - Open the my.ini configuration file located at C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1.

If this file is not located here, search the C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x64) directories or do a global search on your C drive for my.ini

Step 2 - Look for an existing max_allowed_packet entry

Step 3 - Change this entry (or add an entry beneath the mysqld section) to be 16M (for 16 Mb)

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=16M

Step 4 - Save the my.ini

Step 5 - Restart the MySql service in the Windows Services module
