Users Logged Out of App after Several days
After a user has logged into the app, the user has to log in again after a few days. My users have complained about this. I'm assuming this is a session time expiring, but can't figure out where. I've updated this setting in my settings.php file for my Drupal site: ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 250000000); but it doesn't change anything for the app. Thoughts?
@mkinnan This one I haven't had to deal with yet, but I understand the symptom. I've heard similar things about just having to set something in settings.php, but haven't had the chance to ever try it yet. If you think you have the right variable, then I'd start digging into Drupal Services in relation to that variable (since all session handling with DG runs through Services).
@signalpoint I've searched for a bit and still can't get any traction on a solution.
I'm not sure what would go in settings.php ...
I checked the variables table in the database and there isn't anything that seems relevant.
I did find this: http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/137603/services-3-session-authentication-csrf-validation-with-persistent-log-in
Does that give you any insight? I don't understand enough of how services works.
Users are uninstalling my app because of this issue. I will pay someone to figure out how to fix it for me. It's got to be a simple fix but I've spent months with no progress and have no idea how to debug
Installed this: https://www.drupal.org/project/session_expire
Set sessions in configuration to never expire.
So far, it's working and users don't have to log in every couple of days.
