CI4 - session not persisting

I start the sessions in a Base controller that all the other controllers extend.

In the constructor I have the sessions like so.

PHP Code:

/**
 * __construct ()
 * -------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Class    Constructor
 *
 * NOTE: Not needed if not setting values or extending a Class.
 *
 */
 public function __construct()
 {
 // Ensure session is started and running
 if (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_NONE)
 {
 // session has not started so start it
 session()->start();
 }
 } 


I can then use the $__SESSION global any place in the app even views.

That's handy to know. I did have "$session = \Config\Services:ession();" in the constructor of my base controller but issue seemed to be with PHP FPM settings. Sessions were working fine for the one (and only) live site on the same server and when I setup another test site, sessions just didn't want to work!!

FuelPHP had problems with that also here is their .htaccess file might help you.

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    # Multiple Environment config, set this to development, testing or production
    # Set the CodeIgniter Environment.
    SetEnv CI_ENV development
    #SetEnv CI_ENV production

    RewriteEngine on

    #AllowOverride All
    RewriteBase /
