Howdy, Mapserver 5.6.5, Mysql 5.1.46, GDAL 1.7.2.
Mapserver is installed and working. I've downloaded the national atlas state boundaries: statesp020.shp and can render it by calling the shapefile directly from a .map file. I am attempting to get this same data into Mysql and get the following: ####################### ogr2ogr -f "MySQL" MySQL:'BaseMap,user=root,password=<password>,port=3306' -nln "US_State_Boundaries" statesp020.shp -update -overwrite ERROR 1: MySQL error message:Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes Description: CreateFeature failed because the MySQL server cannot read the entire query statement. Increase the size of statements your server will allow by altering the 'max_allowed_packet' parameter in your MySQL server configuration. ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed ####################### My question is: Is this _really_ a Mysql problem? (I'm reluctant to trust errors thrown by mysql) If it is a mysql problem, is this a post install configurable parameter, or to I have to recompile? What is a good size for max_allowed_packet? Thanks in advance! Matt _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
