The S-Files: Acquia Drupal Stack installer Got packet bigger than max_allowed_packet bytes

Tech Support Case Studies

The S-Files are a taste of the support that you get with a subscription to Acquia Support. Our support team helps you solve technical problems relating to your Drupal sites.

The Acquia Drupal Stack installer is a major productivity booster for getting up and running in the development of your Drupal site. Sometimes, though, Drupal modules like to cache huge data packets in the database. This results in an error in your browser that says this:

Got packet bigger than ‘max_allowed_packet’ bytes

This is an indication that the data being sent between Drupal and the database is large, and exceeds the default setting.

Fortunately the fix for this is easy. In the application installation directory of the stack installer you'll find the following directory and file:

Applications/acquia-drupal on my Mac

Edit the my.ini file with whatever text editor you like, and add these lines to the end:

#Max packets
max_allowed_packet = 128M

Now stop and start the Acquia Drupal Stack using the Acquia Drupal Control Panel, and the new setting will come into effect. This should solve your max_allowed_packet problem!

XDebug, Komodo, and the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer

Posted on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 13:08 by Robert Douglass

The Acquia Drupal Stack installer for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) has been released, and it’s pretty cool (works on 10.5 Leopard, too, of course). I’m now using it as my primary development environment, replacing MAMP. In this article I show how you can configure the stack installer to use XDebug for step through debugging.

Stacking up Drupal

Why the Acquia Drupal Stack is now the Drupal development stack of choice. Drupal On-ramp - Personal experiences at Drupal events in recent months and reports from friends and colleagues indicate that the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer is really changing the installation experience for new users. This incredibly fast, painless on-ramp experience - it lets you get right into "Drupalling" without fighting with ports, permissions, or database connections - is winning over new users at Drupal Camps around the world.

Acquia Drupal Stack (DAMP) Installer Gets Multisite Support

When Acquia came out with the Drupal Stack (DAMP) Installer, many new users likely got very excited. You can use this installer to download and install everything you need to get a Drupal web content management environment up and running with a single click on a Mac or Windows system. But while it was a good way to get Drupal up and running quickly, it didn't have everything you may have wanted.

Acquia asked the community what new features they would like to see with the DAMP Installer and the community responded — multisite support. Acquia, of course, obliged.

Most Requested Feature

According to the results of a survey Acquia put out, the most requested feature for the DAMP Installer was to be able to set up multiple virtual hosts for multiple Drupal websites.

Once you have your Drupal environment up and running, you can create and configure new websites by simply clicking New in the Settings…Sites Tab.

Multiple Drupal sites & virtual hosts on Acquia Drupal Stack Installer (DAMP)

Posted on Fri, May 15, 2009 13:46 by Chris Brookins

A little over a month ago we posted a survey asking what you wanted to see next in the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer (a.k.a. DAMP). According the survey results, the most requested feature was support for multiple virtual hosts so you could easily set up multiple Drupal web sites using any local URL. For example: http://mysite.localhost or http://myclient.theirdomain.com, etc.

I am happy to announce we recently released a new version of the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer that supports multiple virtual hosts.

CMS Critic

With all of the buzz encircling Acquia lately, we thought it prudent to share a review with our readers since we’ve never truly delved in to see what Acquia’s rendition of Drupal is made of.

For those of you unfamiliar with Acquia, we recommend you watch the following video that we shared previously that is an introduction to the product: Acquia Introduction

To get started, we decided to test the Acquia Drupal Installer stack which is available from the Acquia website and is a packaged of Apache, PHP, MySQL, PHPMyadmin and the Acquia Drupal version. The stack installer installs them all and allows you to quickly get to the nitty gritty and start playing.
