How to separate Cakephp session and Yii session

Question

I have a Cakephp application and Yii application running on the same server. And their session config are

Cakephp:

Configure::write('Session', array(
        'defaults' => 'php',
        'ini' => array(
            'session.cookie_path' => '/cakephp_app',
        ),
        'cookie' => 'PHPSESSID'
));

Yii:

'session' => array(
        'autoStart' => true,
        'timeout' => 5400,
        'sessionName' => 'YIIAPP',
)

I supposed their session will be separated, but the result is negative.

Since the cakephp app is already in production, so what can I do to separate the Yii session from the cakephp session?

And can anyone tell me how come my Yii is still using the PHPSESSID session, rather than then 'YIIAPP' session?

Answer 1

I've tested this and adding:

'sessionName' => 'YiiAPP' 

worked first time for me.

However, I then added

session_start() 

To my index.php file - and this then shows the PHPSESSID. So I suspect somewhere in your code you are using session_start() - which Yii doesn't need. It starts its own session automatically.
