I am running Server version: 5.1.45-log MySQL Community Server (GPL) and I attempted to change max packet with the following: SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=16*1024*1024; but it did not work properly. The configuration did not change by using the show variables command. I changed the configuration file (my.cnf) and restarted the server and the variable stayed the same. Does anyone have any ideas?
