The error MySQL server has gone away is a bad configuration setting on the server. The first work-around that can be tried is the following:

1. Open the file administrator/components/com_csvi/csvi.php
2. Find line 12 where the following code is:
   

   defined('_JEXEC') or die;

   // Access check.

3. Change this to read:
   

   defined('_JEXEC') or die;
   
   ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout', 300);
   ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 300);
   
   // Access check.

4. Save the file

A second work-around to try is the following (this is a Joomla core hack !):

1. Open the file administrator/index.php
2. Find line 14 where the following code is:
   

   // Set flag that this is a parent file
   define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

   define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

3. Change this to read:
   

   // Set flag that this is a parent file
   define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

   ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout', 300);
   ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 300);

   define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

4. Save the file
