XF 1.4 Error on import.

[ESAD]

I got this on the import of threads and posts on a vb3.8 import. What should I do? Can I resume the import or what?

MySQL server has gone away

That error is caused by one of these MySQL settings being exceeded:

wait_timeout
max_allowed_packet

Your host or server person needs to increase these settings in MySQL. There is more info here:

Once this is fixed then it would be ideal for you to start over with the import. But refreshing the current import should pick up where it left off.
