I am running MySQL 5.7 on MacOS High Sierra.
I mainly use it for hosting Magento websites locally for programming/debugging. I also use Sequel Pro to make changes when necessary also locally.
My first "MySQL Server has gone away" issue occured when I left Sequal Pro connected, and I attempted to load the webshop. The webpage could not load. As far as my website was concerned, the server was offline. That was of course not true, once I quit Sequel Pro everything resumed to work correctly.
Very recently I noticed that I am not able to login to the admin panel and refresh the front-page at the same time. I am unable to send more than two requests to the database. If I am loading a certain page, and it is currently busy reading from the database, then I cannot send another database query request/connection
I could not find a post that explained the issue like this, so I apologize if this is a duplicate.
I hope someone has experienced this and perhaps can give me some advice on how to fix this annoyance.
Thanks!
