PHP Nette - sessions problem - i must very often login to app after inactivity

Hi,

I am logged out of my php nette project very often after about 20 minutes of inactivity, although I have set in config.neon this:

session:
expiration: 14 days
autoStart: true

On another project with the same session expiration setting, but on another server, this automatic logout does not happen. Anyone know what it is? Thanks

Hi,

you will certainly need to change the session configuration in php.ini, usually this is set to:
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440.

For example, if you use /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini, php-fpm, nginx, and you want session.gc_maxlifetime to be 56000, the procedure would be:
vim /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
; http://php.net/session.gc-maxlifetime
session.gc_maxlifetime = 56000

systemctl restart php7.2-fpm
systemctl reload nginx
