Yii users being logged out after 15-30 minutes despite session timeouts being set to at least 1 day

Question

I\'ve included the relevent parts of our Yii config file below:

return array(
...
    \'components\'=>array(
        \'session\' => array(
                     


        

Answer 1

I had a identical problem, even if i make authTimeout 3600 * 24 ( 24 hours ) the user still making logout in about 30 minutes. I discovered that on php.ini there is a option:

session.gc_maxlifetime

for default this options is 24 minutes, so i changed for what i needed

session.gc_maxlifetime = 86400

24 hours. Problem Solved for me.

Hope this could help someone!
