CI_DB_driver Bug?

Hi everyone!

I'm also facing the same issue, i'm getting this error occasionally:

Code:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mysqli::real_connect() [mysqli.real-connect]: MySQL server has gone away

Filename: mysqli/mysqli_driver.php

Line Number: 135

Backtrace:

File: E:\wamp\www\ace_admin\application\controllers\Manager.php
Line: 10
Function: __construct

File: E:\wamp\www\ace_admin\index.php
Line: 292
Function: require_once

i'm auto loading my database like this:

Code:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session');

and below are my database config settings:

Code:

$active_group = 'development';
$query_builder = TRUE;

$db['development'] = array(
    'dsn'    => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'admin',
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => TRUE,
    'db_debug' => TRUE,
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'autoinit' => TRUE,
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);

I need a solution where i don't have to change my server's php settings, if not possible then need to suppress only this warning as it doesn't have any effect on my code, i'm reconnecting db on my models in their constructors.

Thanks.
