Session timeout in progress. Check value of session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini (or CC3 Admin panel - Server info ). Deafault setting is 1440 (1440 seconds -> 24 mins).

Session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.

Search and set desidered value up in php.ini (This makes a MASTER value for every PHP script), or place this code in file admin/include/auth.inc BEFORE session_start();

@ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', '3600');

3600 -> 1 hour (This makes a LOCAL value for CC admin ONLY).

Be careful, do not set up a huge value because of security B)

yes, CC2 admin code is quite different.....

1. set time into session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini

or

2. add @ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', '3600'); to every file, where session_start(); occurs....(almost every )....as the first PHP command....

maybe ... much more effective method exists, but im not familiar with CC2 by now

Hi,

Thanks, I really feel a bit stupid to ask....where can I find php.ini??

Huh, it depends to OS, user privileges, security settings.........but most of the sites (hosting) client has NO ability to 'manage' php.ini directly
