Why does seesion expire too soon? - El Forum - 12-14-2012

Hello

Why does the session expire in a few minutes? Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 1, sometimes 10? This is how I create it:

Code:
$user_data = array('email'=>$results['email'], 'id'=>$results['id'], 'login'=>true);

$this->session->set_userdata($user_data);

Thanks

./application/config/config.php

Code:
$config['sess_expiration']         = 7200;  // Session last 2 hours you can raise it up.

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;   // 300 = 5 minutes to update raise it up to last longer.

I tried this but still logs me out:

Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name']  = 'ci_session';

$config['sess_expiration']  = 14000;

$config['sess_expire_on_close'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_encrypt_cookie'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_use_database'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_table_name']  = 'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_match_ip']  = FALSE;

$config['sess_match_useragent'] = TRUE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 14000;

If you are using IE then you need to change this.

Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name']  = 'ci_session';

to

$config['sess_cookie_name']  = 'cisession';

Also IE neeeds to be setup to allow session cookies under tools options.

Thank you
