XF 2.0 cmd.php and MySQL timeouts

[Bryan]

I seem to be experiencing an issue with cmd.php where if I don't get through the create addon process quickly the MySQL server goes away or I get the following:

[ErrorException]
[E_WARNING] Error while sending STMT_PREPARE packet. PID=968

Any suggestions as to what may cause this?

You likely need to increase your wait_timeout value in MySQL. (The default is quite high so you generally won't run into this.)
