Admin Session Timeout setting -- where?

Store Builder Questions

Hi everyone,



Have an issue…



While keying in the Site News / Pages in the cart, the system actually time out and log me out… and my painstakingly keyed in – information are gone.



Is there anyway to set the timeout?



Thank you.

In config.php are the settings for the session timeouts. Are you sure there’s not an issue related to your browser and cookies? Normally a session timeout is 2 hours. This is 2 hours since the last page was accessed. If you went to lunch than that’s possible, but for normal admin stuff, that would be a long time on one page.

Would that be the SESSION_ALIVE_TIME variable in the 2.2.3 config.php? Does it apply to both customers in the storefront and administrators in the backend?
