Hello.
4.0.17 is old enough. You may switch to the debug version and attempt to find the clues in debug or trace files. Can you reproduce an error on the latest release (4.1.9 now)? Do you lost connection to the server with other statements, than 'SHOW DATABASES'? Please answer on this questions: -What operating system do you use? -Do you use official binaries? [snip] We still have the problem... In the error log, I have nothing about problem. I only have that: 050203 00:34:14 mysqld started /u01/mysql/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '4.0.17-log' socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 3306 If I do show variables, I have max_allowed_packet = 16776192 IF I log into mysql with :mysql -uroot --max_allowed_packet=16M -p After I do:show databases; and I receive the answer. After I wait 30 sec and launch the command "show databases;" again and now I have the error: ERROR 2006: MySQL server has gone away No connection. Trying to reconnect...
