CI 3.1.9 session timeout issue - tuhin.chowdhury08 - 12-05-2018

My company project runs on CI 3.1.9 version. When there are many users logging into the system, then after some time session automatically gets timeout. I have increased the session expiration and session update in config.php. But same issue(session timeout) is happening everytime. Please help.

What is your session settings in the CI config.php file?


RE: CI 3.1.9 session timeout issue - tuhin.chowdhury08 - 12-05-2018

My config.php session settings

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 0;
$config['sess_save_path'] = sys_get_temp_dir();
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 86400;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_match_useragent'] = FALSE;

Is there be a CRON job that's periodically cleaning up session files?

Has this just started happening or has it been happening for some time? What version of PHP?

According to the CI documentation ( https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html?highlight=garbage%20collector#session-preferences ) Garbage Collection cleans up the session directory.

Yes, that is true. But that does not mean that a CRON job to do the same thing cannot be running too.

No there is no cron job which is cleaning the session

No this is happening sometime. But not any specific time.

PHP version 7.2.7

You may need to set the cookie path in ,/application/config/config.php

PHP Code:
$config['cookie_prefix'  '';
$config['cookie_domain'  '.domainname.com';
$config['cookie_path'    '/';
$config['cookie_secure'  FALSE;
$config['cookie_httponly'] = FALSE

Change the .domainname.com to your host location.

I am having session timeout issue, will cookie settings solve the session issue?
