Zend framework session expires prematurely

Question

I\'m using Zend Framework for PHP and handling sessions with the Zend_Session module. This is what I have in my Initializer (or bootstrap):

Zend_Session::st         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and solved it by putting:

resources.session.save_path = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/session/"
resources.session.gc_maxlifetime = 864000
resources.session.remember_me_seconds = 864000

in the application.ini (as suggested by tawfekov) and

protected function _initSessions() {
    $this->bootstrap('session');
}

in the Bootstrap.php (this I typically forgot at first). You have to give the session directory the correct access rights (chmod 777). I described the issue here. Hopefully this will help the next person with the same issue.
