Session::timeout does not effect

[mitalcoi]

my config:

...
        'session' => [
            'class' => 'yii\web\Session',
            'cookieParams' => ['httponly' => true, 'lifetime' => 3600 * 4],
            'timeout' => 3600*4,
            'useCookies' => true,
        ],
...

But I find myself logouted after 20-40 minutes

Try changing session.gc_maxlifetime http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.gc-maxlifetime in Your php.ini to something bigger and see if the problem persists.

after direct setting in php.ini problem gone

It is because the session is being lazily loaded. You may put it in bootstrap to ensure timeout is set for every request.

@qiangxue Sorry, but may i ask what do you mean exactly when you say to put it in bootstrap? do you mean the index.php, where yii is booted?

Hi,
Following code works fine for me.
in components of my config/main.php

'user' => [
            'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
            'enableAutoLogin' => false,
          **  'authTimeout' => 30, //Seconds **
        ],

This is timing out session & coming back to login screen after inactivity for 30 secods.
