protocol packets out of order

Question

I recently uploaded my node.js app on A2 Hosting and I get this error :

{ Error: Packets out of order. Got: 80 Expected: 0

    at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10) code: 'PROTOCOL_PACKETS_OUT_OF_ORDER', fatal: true }

I get that error from this code :

var connection = mysql.createConnection(connDB);
connection.connect();
connection.query(`SELECT * FROM action`, function(err, data){
    if(err) return console.error(err);
    else {
        console.log("data : ", data);
    }
})

On my localhost it works perfectly but on the server I get that error. The documentation about this error is very poor. Does someone have an idea ?

Thank you

You need to increase mysql max_allowed_packet parameter in mysql configuration file (my.cnf) by the next way:

max_allowed_packet=500M
