Guest twisted Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Where the frigg is this damn thing set? Spent quite some time typing up an extra document for the website...had to step away for a bit, came back to finish it, hit "save changes" and the friggin thing asked me to log in again....of course, all that work had been lost. The colorful expletives flew. Anyone know where the timeout is set so that I can EXTEND it!!!!!!!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I think it might be a server variable. PHP scripts bomb out after 30 seconds of no return re my other posts about LARGE CubeCart database imports/exports. I'm not sure where you set this on the server. If you run Apache, it will bound to be detailed on their site. It might be where the globals thing is in the public.html .htacces file ??

Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Been there. Done that. I have now gotten into the habit of writing up any new documents on my desktop, and then uploading them to my server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 The admin session will time out after 24 mins, this is set in the servers php.ini file. You may be able to change this by editing your .htaccess file, add: php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 28800 This should make the session time out after 8 hours. Again, untested... I would still use notepad and then cut and paste. Regards, Mark. www.sxhosts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
