MySQL error 2013

Question

In MySQL, how can I solve the error below?

2013: Lost connection to MySQL server at \'reading authorization packet\', system error: 0

Answer 1

I had this same issue today and it turned out to be an issue with mysql 5.6.*. After uninstalling that and installing 5.5.36, I'm not getting this error anymore.

EDIT: On another computer, I was getting this error very consistently until I set this in my.cnf:

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 32M

Well, technically, my error was slightly different:

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'sending authentication information', system error: 32")
