Error 1153 during restore

[thewatchdesk]

I recieved the following error during after following the failsafe restore directions :) mysql -u db_user -p db_name < path/to/dump.sql

Error 1153 at line 334: got a packet bigger than 'max allowed packet'

Any ideas what I need to tell my provider to fix this or what I am doing wrong?

You need to ask your host to set a large max_allowed_packet in the my.cnf file and restart the mysql server.
