PHP 8.1: implementing Session Persistence Using Redis as Session Handler in Laravel 9
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I need some guidance on I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I'm currently working on a Laravel 9 application using PHP 8.1 where I've configured Redis as the session driver. However, I'm working with issues with session persistence. Intermittently, users are getting logged out or their sessions seem to reset unexpectedly. I've configured the `config/session.php` file as follows: ```php 'session_driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', 'expiration' => 120, 'lottery' => [2, 100], 'cookie' => 'laravel_session', `. I'm using the following version of Redis: ```bash $ redis-server --version Redis version 6.2.5 ``` I have also set up the Redis connection in my `config/database.php` file correctly, confirming that the connection is stable. However, during testing, I noticed that some sessions are being lost or not properly stored in Redis. When I check the Redis data, most of the time I can see the session key, but it seems to disappear after a short period, and occasionally I get the following behavior in my log files: ``` behavior: Session store not found for key: laravel_session ``` I've tried explicitly setting the session lifetime in `php.ini`: ``` session.gc_maxlifetime = 7200 ``` I also implemented middleware to ensure that session data is being refreshed on each request. It's still puzzling because the session data works correctly most of the time, but the inconsistency is really affecting the user experience. I'm not sure whether this is a configuration scenario or if there's something more specific in the Laravel session handler with Redis. Any insights or suggestions on how to diagnose this question would be greatly appreciated! Any feedback is welcome! Is there a better approach? My development environment is Linux. Cheers for any assistance! I'd be grateful for any help.
