Can we change the Default Session time in PHP

[T0tal L0$$]

Is it possible to change the Default session time of a given session, this is because some times the default time for a particular session either extends or minimize, so it would be much more better that whether I could manually handle the default session time.

Start Internet Information Services (IIS) administration tool (snap-in) from the Control Panel. Navigate to the "Default Web Site" node, right click on it and then select "Properties". default session time in PHP is 1440 seconds. if we want to change the session time in php, then we have to change in php.ini. In the 'Directory' tab click "Create" button, then click "OK". Click on the "Home Directory" tab, then "Configuration". Click on the "Options" tab. Increase the "Session timeout" value and click "OK" twice until you return to the IIS snap-in.

The session table contains about 170k records and the session_attribute table had about 290k records. To change the default session timeout (which is 60 minutes) you must edit the file web.xml. This file can be found in <YOUR DEPLOYMENT>/WEB-INF/web.xml. After running this particular Trace instance for about a year (since about oct 2007), first off the 0.11 trunk, later on the official release, MySQL started dying as soon as I tried to login.

The value within the session-timeout tag defines the amount of time the session will exist, in minutes. Note that after editing the web.xml file you will need to restart JIRA for your change to take effect. Try to find out these lines from your php.ini file. and change the value to increase the session time out.make sure to restart the machine if you need to test.

; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
