[rt-users] Enabling full text index, getting "MySQL server has gone away"

[Alex Hall]

Thanks for the correction. I hate to say it, but this didn't change the
results I'm seeing at all. I just updated /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf,
restarted MySQL, and ran the full-text index command again. I got the exact
same errors as before.
