RE: Randomly expired session cookies

I have noticed behavior like yours with our server setup. It is not a locally run (or owned) server so I cannot poke around to much. The session is timing out Randomly, causing our users to have to login again. It doesn't happen all the time either. In a rare case, less than a minute after login, I'll be forced to login again. Just to be sure I've set the following HUGE timeouts: session_set_cookie_params( 21600 ); session_cache_expire( 21600 ); This is ridicules I know, but I left it just for kicks. I don't know the load averages of the server and I'm very curious to find out if this is part of the issue. The server has PHP Version 4.2.3 installed on Linux w/ Apache. I'm not sure what version of Apache is installed. One last tidbit. I run the same site ( a mirror) locally while developing, and It never times out. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert (yet) so my problem could be caused by some completely unrelated setting. If someone knows of this mystery setting, please let me know.
