Hi Guys,

I have installed MySQL 5.0.45 server on a new FreeBSD 6.2 boxen, and
having some problems restoring a 10GB database backup to the new
server. The error I receive is max_allowed_packet too large. When I
change the value for max_allowed_packet and set it to 100M, or 500M,
or 1G, or 1000M, or 8589934592 (bits), it does not appear to be
changing the value in MySQL.

I only have one configuration file located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which
is where I am setting the max_allowed_packet value.

After altering this value, I restart MySQL (or even the entire
server) and then log into mysql and do a "show variables;" command.
The max_allowed_packet variable is ALWAYS set to 1048576 (1M), and
has not changed no matter what I try.

Is the my.cnf file in the right location (/etc/mysql/)???

No, that is not the default location.  I think it uses
/var/db/mysql/my.cnf by default.

My config file is located at /etc/my.cnf and it works fine.
