Error Message : MySQL server has gone away

#betholsoncreative

thanks a lot… It worked like a charm…

Glad to hear it! I think the plugin has worked like it’s supposed to only once or twice. I almost always to it this way. It’s a little more work but it works great!

I had this error just now so I Googled this thread but I tried again and it worked. It must be something with the web host’s side as well.

I’ve cloned a number of my sites and never seen this error before today.

Same to Daniel Delos, I tried again and it worked fine. But I deleted the old backup zip first before the second try.

Had same problem on a shared Godaddy host, in advanced settings section of the WPClone plugin i set the script execution time to 600 and worked fine.

Same problem with Siteground, tried again and worked.

As Siteground, tried second time went fine.

# betholsoncreative , Thanks

” ), htmlspecialchars( $this->dbhost, ENT_QUOTES ) ), ‘db_connect_fail’ );

return false;
} else if ( $this->dbh ) {
$this->has_connected = true;
$this->set_charset( $this->dbh );
$this->set_sql_mode();
$this->ready = true;
$this->query(“set session wait_timeout=600” );
$this->select( $this->dbname, $this->dbh );

return true;
