[Catalyst] MySQL server has gone away

[Adeola Awoyemi]

Hi all,

I have problem that when I run my app via fastcgi I get an error  
where one of my models can't connect to the database with the message  
"MySQL server has gone away". When I start it using 'script/ 
myapp_server.pl' it works fine.

Has anyone come across this before? Any hints to fixing this would be  
greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Adeola.
