XF 1.2 constantly logged out of admin

[jdeg]

The timeout on the admin panel seems incredibly short. I've been getting logged out within seconds, even between running tasks like resetting caches, installing addons, and sending emails. I am using xcache as a datastore cacher and have debug mode enabled. Any ideas?

Are you behind a Cloud-flare like service?

nope - I am using a cdn for static files though.

Are you using this on your /library/config.php ?

$config['cache']['cacheSessions'] = true;

While digging into the same problem I found this thread.

I actually getting out from admincp and I have that line of code...

Any suggestions?

Remove it.

Done and tested without issues now!

I am also having this problem, and I recently put my sever behind an AWS ELB.

I tried commenting out the $config['cache'] line, but am still being logged out constantly.

If the IP shown in PHP info (admin.php?tools/phpinfo, if you can access that) in the "REMOTE_ADDR" value is not your IP, you need to look for your IP and set it to $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in config.php.

Hi Mike - in my phpinfo, that IP is not my actual IP - it appears to be a 10.0.0.0/8 IP, within AWS. In my config.php file, do I just add a line that says:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = 10.x.y.z;

or do I put my actual ip instead of the 10.0.0.0/8 one? Also, do I have to do this every time my ISP changes my IP, or if I need to access the adminCP when not at home?

You need to find which value in $_SERVER has your real IP and use something like:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

Replace the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR with the correct value (it varies by setup).
