Answered PHPSESSID Persistence - Please Help!

Hello there! This is driving us crazy! We have two different ModX installs. On one, the value for PHPSESSID works as expected (stays the same on each page reload). However, on the other - the value changes on EVERY page load. This makes it nearly impossible to work on the site, as we get logged out of the manager if we even so much as view another resource in the same browser.

I've searched and searched for solutions but nothing seems to work. We also can't find any differences between the two configurations.

Please help me understand what could be causing this behavior...

cookie domain: blank
httponly: yes
lifetime: 604800
path: /
secure: no
gc lifetime: 604800
class: modSessionHandler
name: blank

I've tried truncated the modx_session tables, clearing the cache, updating modx, all sorts of variations of the above settings - all with the same result (no PHPSESSID persistence).

Please HELP!

Have you uncommented one of the sections of .htaccess (after renaming it from ht.access) that forces www or non-www URLs? Users switching back and forth between the two is a common cause of session loss.

On some servers, you also need to set your own session.save_path.

I'm glad you got it sorted. Thanks for reporting back.
