Question

I have messed around with my apache and php.ini file and my site’s users still complain about the site logging them out after a very short time or every time they close and open the same browser.

I am running Apache and PHP.

What settings should I have in order to make the users session go for 24 hours so they don’t have to re-log in every time?

Thanks,
Alex

Answer 1

In php.ini, set:

; 24 hour session cookie
session.cookie_lifetime = 86400

; Prevent server from cleaning up session
; Some value higher than the cookie lifetime
session.gc_maxlifetime = 200000
