Auto log off timer

[cellact]

Hi,
How can I change the automatic log off timer?

Thanks,
Tal

Open the "/etc/php.ini" file and edit the line that says:

Code: Select all

session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

Note: This is in seconds.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, it worked.

For future reference, after you make changes in php.ini, you have to restart the apache service (apachectl restart) for changes to take effect.

Hi again,
Unfortunately it ended up not working..

I still get 'session timed out' when I leave the computer for some time.

What did you set it to?

[cellact]

Some huge number. I basically don't want to get ever logged out.
There's no Max value, is it?

Today it seemed to work. I'll update if I find a pattern.

It is working. dunno what happened before. Thanks
