Timeout Deletes all Product Info


mvittone

Recommended Posts

I'm all for security - so I understand why the system times out for inactivity.  However, if we are modifying a product and allow the system to timeout, it doesn't just not save the change, it deletes all content (except the images) and we have to start over.  Anyone have any insights?

 

Thanks,

@@mvittone When you say it deletes the content, are you saying the product gets deleted? If so, then something seems to be wrong with your code since that shouldn't happen. If you mean that none of the changes you made for that product gets saved, you can't stop that from happening. However, you can change the code to lengthen the timeout. Making it last too long might be a security problem but if you increase it enough you shouldn't have this problem.

 

I think there is an addon for this but, if not, there are many posts on it. Just search the forum through google for admin timeout, or something similar.

Hi all,

known problem on some apache server when mysql session handling used.

 

Use file based sessions instead.
