Session Configuration

The session.php file contains settings related to user and operator sessions. This document provides a list of configuration items available in the file, allowing you to modify them as necessary.

Session Store

Available Session Stores

• File - (Default)
• Redis - sessions are stored in fast, cache based stores, requires Redis database to be configured.

Redis

If you would like to store session data in Redis, please follow the below steps:

1. Make sure your PHP configuration doesn't have any disable_functions listed. You can check this via Utilities > PHP Information within the operator panel, but please also ensure your PHP CLI (cron) configuration also has the same setup.
2. Add your Redis connection information to /config/production/database.php (don't edit your MySQL configuration). To ensure a separate Redis database is created for sessions, please ensure the database parameter in the 'session' array is unique:

               <?php return array (
                 'connections' =>
                 array (
                   'mysql' =>
                   array (
                     ...
                   ),
                 ),
   
                 'redis' => [
                     'client' => 'predis',
                     'default' => [
                         'host'     => '192.168.1.150',
                         'port'     => 6379,
                         'database' => 0,
                     ],
                     'session' => [
                         'host'     => '192.168.1.150',
                         'port'     => 6379,
                         'database' => 1,
                     ]
                 ],
               );
           

3. Create or update /config/production/session.php

   
               <?php return [ 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'session', ];
