Where do you set the sessions timeout?

[mark754]

Which file is this setting in? Thanks.

catalog includes/functions/sessions.php

  if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
   if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) {
     $SESS_LIFE = 1440;

 

is that what you want

What does this do? Why would we want to modify the session time

[mark754]

Thanks. My problem is that the admin panel logs me out after a few minutes, which is inconvenient beacuse I have to keep logging in if I am working on something. However I have another store with the same sessions timeout setting and it doesn't do this - it keeps me logged in indefinitely.

 

Is there another setting for this?

admin/includes/functions/sessions.php

 ?if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
? ?if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) {
? ? ?$SESS_LIFE = 1440;
? ?}

 

Do you have an admin access contribution installed

[mark754]

Yes, I do. How would this affect the sessions setting?

[241]

do both stores have this contribution

are both stores on the same server

[mark754]

Yes, both have the contribution. They're on different servers, I believe, but with the same host.

there is the session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini to which the sessions.php refers

[mark754]

Dumb question - where is php.ini? ;)

[241]

php.ini is onthe server which you will not have access to if it is a hosted account.

[mark754]

That's what I thought. I'll contact the host about it. Thanks.
