When using Drupal your browser returns the following error
Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'
The most likely cause of this error is your MySQL server. If you're new to Drupal think of MySQL server as a database.
To fix this select the bellow option that better match your needs. The beginners option or the advanced option.
