SQL Connection Error

[SteveI]

I did a little research and did not find any help for this error:

mysqldump: Error 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when dumping table `ipb_core_item_markers` at row: 3844

This started yesterday and I cannot backup my database thru the MyhSQL Workbench.

I was also getting a Whitespace error but Support had me upload all of the current files and the did fix that. I ran every tool in the Admin Pannel but nothing seems to solve this problem.

Is there a script that can be run to solve this?

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

That looks like an issue with your SQL server itself, likely running into the limit of a server setting, max_allowed_packets, or similar.

Any suggestions as to setting I can change and try? I am a Microsoft SQL person on a limited basis and not good at MySQL at all. Thank you in advance.
