Sessions - Knutsford - 01-01-2019
I now can't log into the admin or the seller or buyer areas?
The config has
$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH.'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
When I look in ci_sessions there is a session in there for when I log in but after that it has created a new session every second or more
It is only writing something to ci_sessions once you have tried to log in. Non of the old sessions are getting deleted either if that helps.
Any Ideas please?

Nothing obviously wrong with those settings.
Possibly a cookie $config problem. Please show those values too. Might also be how you are using session. Show enough code so we can get a feel for that please.

This is how I set mine up and they work just fine.
Create a folder under ./application called writable.
PHP Code:
./application/writable
Then set your config file like this.
PHP Code:
$config['sess_save_path'] = APPPATH.'writable';
As far as sessions not being deleted check your php.ini session settings.
Make sure that:
Code:
# Default session parameters
session.gc_probability = 1 # Make sure that this is not set to 0 (ZERO)
session.gc_divisor = 1000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440This works very well for me using this setup.

RE: Sessions - Knutsford - 01-01-2019
What permissions should ci_sessions have?
RE: Sessions - Knutsford - 01-01-2019
All I know is thatt when I log in I get an entry
ci_session83caf69c2f12713c5348f461503447b7
Containing
__ci_last_regenerate|i:1546369534;logged_in|a:5:{s:7:"user_id";s:2:"21";s:9:"user_name";s:6:"Pamela";s:10:"user_email";s:29:"[email protected]";s:20:"type_of_last_payment";s:0:"";s:9:"user_type";s:6:"seller";}successmsg|s:31:"You are successfully logged in.";__ci_vars|a:1:{s:10:"successmsg";s:3:"new";}
in ci_session
Then ci_session9a14cc56047430275f53a9d9be52dd6d
which is completely empty
then
ci_sessionc7877c62d115003cf62ec4eb05e753de
containing
__ci_last_regenerate|i:1546369534;
Then more completely empty ones
Why? The code hasn't been changed since it was last working. When I look as the session stored on my PC the value is one of the totally empty ones. What is going on? I have no idea how it is supposed to work but surely those extra entries shouldn't be there?
I have done some more testing
Every time I go to anew page I get something like
ci_sessionc7877c62d115003cf62ec4eb05e753de
containing
__ci_last_regenerate|i:1546369534;
in ci_session and the session value is written to my PC
When I try and log in the Session value on my PC isn't being changed
Hmm it is codeignitor 3.0.6
And the Host has upgraded to PHP 7.2.6 since it was working
Could that be the problem?
How do I upgrade to the latest codeognitor? I didn't write the site originally and I hadn't realised it was that old
RE: Sessions - dave friend - 01-02-2019
Thanks for sharing your php.ini values. I was asking for config values from /application/config/config.php related to sessions.
Specifically
PHP Code:
$config['cookie_prefix'] = ?;
$config['cookie_domain'] = ?;
$config['cookie_path'] = ?
$config['cookie_secure'] = ?
$config['cookie_httponly'] = ?
The problems you describe often happens if cookies are not working correctly.
If new files are created in FCPATH/ci_sessions/ you do not have a permission problem.
You should seriously consider upgrading to CodeIgniter 3.1.9 which is very easy to do from 3.0.6.
- Download the current version
- Replace all files and directories in your system/ directory using the new version's system/ directory
- Check each of the "Upgrading from ..." instruction pages starting with Upgrading from 3.03. to 3.1.0
You can ignore Step 1 on each of those pages because you already did it in #1 above.
You can use the Previous link on the bottom of each page to go to the next set of instructions.
The only item you will probably need to do out of all the upgrades is to replace application/config/mimes.php but you should confirm that for yourself.

You have just beaten me as I was just looking at the upgrade before I got your email. I was googling this morning and someone else had the same problem and said an upgrade sorted it out so fingers crossed. It does look very simple to do the upgrade I will try after tea
