We have a rather massive application built on the CodeIgniter framework, and we're having an issue with sessions.
Our login sessions keep disappearing when users are adding content to our site. We have an extremely comprehensive calendar of cycling events, and when our users add an event, it occasionally loses the session data.
Our config.php session settings:
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 0;
$config['sess_encrypt_cookie'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_use_database'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_table_name'] = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_match_useragent'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
When adding events, we store the data for the event in a session as we move between the form and the preview screens, and from the preview to the actual entry.We had run into some issues with the amount of data we're storing in the session being too large, so we changed the user_data field to 'longtext,' which solved some of our issues with sessions dropping. Still, occasionally even very simple events with only a small amount of data (far, far below the limit of a longtext field - all the data is text), we're losing our sessions.
Any ideas about how we might go about troubleshooting this?
