This error "Warning: MySQL server has gone away" isn't saying that the MySQL server is down, it's more saying you are out of resources... Just the first couple of responses from Google (such as this) should be enough to show that and unfortunately we can't really do anything to "fix" it but tell you to try again with more resources allowed for the MySQL server.
