MySQL error 1153 while editing forum in ACP
 

I was editing the discription of a forum, and when i pressed the save button i got this error.
I tried it again, and again the error.

Then i just entered a random forum in the ACP ( Forums & moderators --> Forum manager --> edit forum) and hit the save button. Again the error!

I disabled all the plugins to see if that was the issue, but i still get the error.

The error 1153 says: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes.
I googled this, and there is a lot of info, infact... TOO much info.

What can i do about this?
Using vB 4.2.1

You need to ask your host to allow you more send them the full error they will know what to do

ok...
not untill tomorow unfortunately.
Helpdesk closed in the weekends.

I tried to capture the error to show it here, but it is to big.

You can upload it in a zip file if its that big we might be able to help with parts of it.

Good one...
I copied and pasted the error in a tekst document and it is only 1,21 mb large!!!
So i made it a zipfile indeed.

My forum is in dutch language, so parts of the tekst in the error are also dutch.

The attached document contains the error i got while i had all plugins disabled.

in your /includes/config.php file, what is listed for "$config['Datastore']['class']" or is that commented out (which is the default)?
I'd suggest reuploading all the default files
Run this just in case
vBulletin Manual

In the config.php file it should be standard... I did not changed it. Maybe the previous owner, but the last 3 years i own the forum it has not been changed.

What it says is: $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Memcached';

Edit 1:
Ho, wait... It is commented out.
Compleet script part is:
/*
$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Memcached';
$i = 0;
// First Server
$i++;
$config['Misc']['memcacheserver'][$i] = '127.0.0.1';
$config['Misc']['memcacheport'][$i] = 11211;
$config['Misc']['memcachepersistent'][$i] = true;
$config['Misc']['memcacheweight'][$i] = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcachetimeout'][$i] = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcacheretry_interval'][$i] = 15;
*/

Edit 2:
I reuploaded all files.
Tried it again, same error.
Updated and repaired the database, and after that i tried to update the counters.
All were updated fine, exept Rebuilding forum information. Here i got the same 1153 error.
So the problem seems to be in creating, editing, updating etc the forum part.

might be best to put in a support ticket i am to tired to think

Remove your attachment, the datastore can have some sensitive information.

Like I responded in your ticket:
MySQL Error : Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

This isn't an issue a database restore could ever fix. More data than is allowed was sent to MySQL, MySQL freaked out.

Sorry i could not help more did not get the best sleep last nite and its hard to think when i am tired but after having a short rest was just about to say what support said too you
