Error 2006: “MySQL server has gone away” using Python, Bottle Microframework and Apache

Question

After accessing my web app using:
- Python 2.7
- the Bottle micro framework v. 0.10.6
- Apache 2.2.22
- mod_wsgi
- on Ubuntu Server 12.04 64bit

Answer 1

For me this was fixed using

MySQLdb.connect("127.0.0.1","root","","db" )

instead of

MySQLdb.connect("localhost","root","","db" )

and then

df.to_sql('df',sql_cnxn,flavor='mysql',if_exists='replace', chunksize=100)
