Max allowed packet changed still replication not starting Suddenly I notice my replication stopped and first I got some primary key duplication error when I checked using the show slave status\G. Then I remove those lines and restarted and ending up now with this error. So I first increase both the master and slave max_allowed_packet to 1G yet not working and now I changed to 2G yet is the same. I have run stop slave and 
change master to master_host='192.168.**',master_user='repu1',master_password='***', master_log_file='mysql-bin.000039', master_log_pos=640109146; 
start slave; yet I keep getting the same error. "Got fatal error 1236 from master when reading data from binary log: 'log event entry exceeded max_allowed_packet; Increase max_allowed_packet on master'" 

I have checked the repu1 password using this command mysql -h 192.168.* -u repu1 -p its working fine too. 

show slave status \G;

The possible reasons are: the master's binary log is corrupted (you can check this by running 'mysqlbinlog' on the binary log), the slave's relay log is corrupted (you can check this by running 'mysqlbinlog' on the relay log), a network problem, or a bug in the master's or slave's MySQL code. If you want to check the master's binary log or slave's relay log, you will be able to know their names by issuing 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS' on this slave.

Try these steps:

1) Take a mysqldump from master 

2) Restore it on a slave, whether it gets restored successfully?

3) You should not keep max_allowed_packet to a high value like 1G or 2G keep it minimal like 16M or 32M and restart Master server.

4) Apply same max_allowed_packet size in slave as well.3

5) Now, stop the slave, execute Change Master .... query accourdingly and start slave

I hope this will work for you.
