web interface session timeout

when I logon to the WI it says: Your session has timed out.
Any time I click on "home dashboard" it says it.
This is a new workstation install so not a caching issue with browser (I would hope anyway).

Suggestions please.

Hi devildog,

What is the output of:

cat /etc/php.ini | grep 'session.gc_maxlifetime'

Also, how much do the timezones differ between the local workstation's browser's time, and the XI server?

24 minutes for the setting you requested

time zones are the same and time differential is less than 60 seconds.

Are you having the same issue when you log in as a different user (nagiosadmin, etc.)? What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using? What type of browser/version?

Yes it works for other people on my machine all 3 major browsers.
I had a "custom homepage" set.
I just fixed it by going to: http://<servername>/nagiosxi/includes/components/homepagemod/useropts.php
and resetting my homepage to "default" instead of the custom URL that I had. Perhaps something changed in URL paths when I updated to R1.2 from 1.1?

Mark as resolved.

Thank you
