Fatal error: Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2006 Server has gone away

[MichaPau]

Hello

On an old page from friends they get this error trying to edit the home page. (No error viewing the published page)

All other pages are working. (Editing and viewing).

The only difference I see is that the Home page is using a module called ImageExtra which is no longer maintained.

ProcessWire version is 3.0.62., PHP version: 8.3.12

Full error message on Save:

Anyone has an idea how to investigate this error further?

[Edit]

I guess this means that there is some timeout.

Can it be that they are using too many, too big images ?

The template has an image field with no limitations. I tried to set max_execution_time to 300 for the php but it still hangs an save.

This error started suddenly without any modifications to the processwire files, templates etc...
