Hi joan27,
I have noticed this auto-logout issue since 1.0.10.
In 1.0.14 I have yet to experience the auto-logout personally (touch wood) but a number of my clients have reported that it still happens to them sometimes in 1.0.14.
I never knew the cause of it but thought it may depend on what else is happening in other tabs of the browser. Perhaps its a scrambled cookie or related to Evo's security settings?
Sometimes it happened to me in some sites, but not in other sites and the logouts drove me crazy.
Did the "session.gc_maxlifetime-variable in config.inc.php" mod above work for you?
This is not a solution to the actual problem, but usually gets my clients up and running in the manager again:
- Logout of the CMS
- Totally clear your browser cache including cookies etc
- Shut down the browser
- Restart the browser with only the CMS open
- Keep the CMS open for at least 15 minutes before confirming
It would be wonderful to find out what actually causes the auto logout.
