Session timeout not working in Cakephp 2

Question

I need to define a very large session time on a cakephp 2 application due to a business need. I defined it on the core.php file as follows:

Configure::write('Session', array(
   'defaults'  => 'php', //defaults => php
   'cookie' => 'cookie',
   'timeout'   => 4320 // 3 days
));

I made a test and arround two hours of inactivity my session is closed, every time I click a button I get back to the logon screen, how can I effectively control my session time?

Answer 1

Use this It may work.it is working for me

core.php

 Configure::write('Session', array(
            'defaults' => 'php',
            'timeout' => 259200,
            'ini' => array(
                'session.gc_maxlifetime' => 259200 // 3 day
            )
    ));
