SOLVED Change session expire timeout

[Daniele]

Hi, how could I change the expire timeout for the web interface? Right now the timeout is too short for me.

I don't see it in variables view.

Thanks

FusionPBX uses $_SESSION, so this is not a specific question for this platform but for any PHP application. Change that in your PHP configuration.

Thanks, I did't know that FuxionPBX used php session.

Thanks

Do you have the steps to extend the timeout seconds?

@JamesBorne That was rude. The purpose of a forum is to post common or edge-case problems, and document the exact solutions for the benefit of others. We don't all have to be PHP experts to use FusionPBX. Don't reduce this forum to belittlement of others.

@Chazoo15 I find the default 24 minute timeout frustrating too. Here are the exact steps I took to change timeout to 8 hours.

$ nano /etc/php/7.1/fpm/php.ini
session.gc_maxlifetime = 28800

$ systemctl restart php7.1-fpm.service

Granted, once you are done doing heavy testing and will be using the portal less, you might want to drop that back to the default 24 minute timeout (1440 seconds)

I haven't tried the above yet but if it works, thanks, it will obviously need to be changed for the php version but this drives me crazy!

Me too. I hope they make a simple interface setting for this common problem.
