How to implement LESS on to your Drupal sites with Omega theme (Responsive HTML5 Base Theme)

1) First of a will need to download and upload/install the following theme, modules and libraries. In these order:

Omega – Responsive HTML5 Base Theme
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\themes’

Omega tool
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\modules’

Chaos tool suite (ctools)
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\modules’

Libraries API
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\modules’

lessphp
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\libraries’

LESS CSS Preprocessor
These files will need to be dropped in: ‘\sites\all\modules’

2) Under Modules enable all of the above modules

3) Next create an Omega subtheme Click here to find out how of here

4) You should now see your new theme located here ‘\sites\all\themes\YOUR-NEW-THEME\’.
Within your new theme you should see a folder called ‘CSS’. In this folder you will create a file called ‘global.less’.

5) For your new theme to pick up your new less file, you need to go back to ‘Appearance’(admin/appearance/settings/your_new_theme) and click on ‘setting’ of your new theme. On the left hand nav click on Toggle styles. you should see all css used bout you should also see your new ‘global.less’ file. Make sure you tick this box to enable new style sheet.

6) Finally, to see your changes on the fly, you need to enable ‘LESS developer mode. To do this go to: ‘admin/config/development/less’

To increase ‘max_allowed_packet’.

I came across this issue when trying to import 1.6gb sql dump. It took me a couple of hours to figure this out. So here is how I did it…

Go and edit this file:
# nano /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
max_allowed_packet=64M <----- Add this line to 16m, 64m, 128, or 256m
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

After you will need to do mysql restart, then check status by typing in the following command

# mysql service status

You should see below of succesful:

max_allowed_packet | 67108864

Command line as follow:

/etc/init.d/httpd  restart

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Or

serice httpd restart

serice mysqld restart
