I’ve had a look at php.org’s session information pages, but can’t find anything that clearly answers my question.
Basically, the issue is that as an admin on the backend, I must continually click on links to keep my session going. If I wait more than a few seconds, the next time I click on something I am asked to log in again, and my changes are not saved.
I’ve tried adding lines to my php.ini at root, but to no success. Any Php.ini settings I create are able to change some settings (such as use only cookies), but other settings (such as session.use_cookies) always stay OFF, no matter what I type into php.ini.
except your session.use_cookies (where my local value is set to ON), my php.ini looks exactly the same like yours.
If you don’t see any change after editing the php.ini, you probably did not get the right one
You may localize the right one in phpinfo as well
Also, you have to restart your apache.
But actually, I don’t think it’s a server issue: I had exactly the same probs a couple of month before on Windows. When I switched to Linux, the problem was completely gone.
Could you check this behaviour on a different machine to exclude a local problem?
I will test on a different machine later today. I am currently working from a relaxing rural location, but one that doesn’t have various machines available.
