MySQL Server has gone away!

Submitted by Jitesh Doshi on Fri, 09/21/2012 - 13:45

While using or coding Drupal, if you come across an error to the effect "mysql server has gone away", right in the middle of a request, you may need to do the following.

Find the my.ini file under MySQL server installation directory (mine is under "data" subdirectory), and in the "[mysqld]" section add the following line (or replace the value if it already exists):

max_allowed_packet=16M

Now restart MySQL server and try again. It should work. If it doesn't, try a value higher than 16M.

accessing a remote MySQL server locally using SSH port forwarding

Submitted by Jitesh Doshi on Sat, 07/21/2012 - 08:19

If you have a shared hosting or VPS hosting account, you probably have a MySQL server on it. And in order to access it (run SQL commands), you typically end up firing up the command line 'mysql' client. No matter how handy you are with the command line, at least of database access and manipulation, it is easier and more productive to use a graphical client such as MySQL Admin or, the excellent, HeidiSQL GUI client.

Replacing your Android phone OS

Submitted by Jitesh Doshi on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 19:55

If you have one of the Android-based smart phones then you might not be getting most out it. That's because the distribution of Android that it comes pre-installed with is unnecessarily is bloated and crippled at the same time. You have the choice of installing a lighter and more capable distribution of Android on it. There is a thriving community of developers who are working to give you several such distributions at http://www.xda-developers.com/.

Displaying clickable popular tags

Submitted by Jitesh Doshi on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 10:32

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; We recently worked on creating a list of tags most frequently used by visitors (it is a question-answer forum), with the number of tags specified by the site administrator, with a choice of '0' or a blank field indicating that all terms from a vocabulary be displayed. An important part of the implementation was generating the correct database query.
