Re: [Deborah] sessions and timeouts - general overview needed
Hi Deborah,
You can set your session expiry time in cmsAdmin/lib/init.php
Look for code that looks like this:
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 60*60*24); // cookies are removed after this many seconds of inactiity (set to 0 for session only)
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60*60*24 ); // session garbage-collection code starts getting randomly called after this many seconds of inactiity
This is where you can set the lifetime of you session in seconds. By default it's set to "60*60*24" or 1 day. Basically, you can change the number 24 to the maximum number of hours you want the session to exist for. This should override the server settings.
If you change these values, get your client to clear out their cache and delete all their cookies before logging in again so they start off fresh.
Also, if you make any changes and then upgrade, your changes will be over written and you'll need to make them again.
If you're client is still running into any issues, let me know.
Hope this helps.
