Issue Session Timeout

[Meczup zade]

Hello,
I've been using Plesk for at least 3-4 years. But still haven't understood anything about the mechanism behind sessions.
I've edit php.ini as following

session.cookie_lifetime = 28800
session.gc_maxlifetime = 28800
session.gc_probability = 0
session.gc_divisor = 1000

But users log out in 1 hour without a predictable timeout.
Could anyone help me about it.

Thanks

Users get logged out from where, the Plesk interface? Which php.ini did you edit?

I'm talking about my website, not Plesk.
I've edited the only PHP.ini available on my server.

There are at least two different php.ini on every Plesk server, one belonging to the operating system's PHP and the other belonging to Plesk's PHP. If you've installed alternative PHP versions that come with Plesk, there is one more for each PHP version installed.

In any case, I suggest starting the research with your site's code in order to see how the session is used, what is written to it, what is read from it. There should be no need to adjust php.ini in order to prolong such settings as a log out timeout.

I'm editing this PHP.ini and every change effects my website but session timeout. (There's only 1 available, that's why I'm saying one PHP.ini file)
Also, I use sessions as following

@session_start();

Means, every request creates a session, if they don't have one.

By the way, I want to extend the session time.
