How can I correctly handle PHP session data with Redis in Laravel 9? Session data seems lost intermittently.
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with an scenario where session data is intermittently lost when using Redis for session storage in my Laravel 9 application. I've set up Redis as the session driver in my `config/session.php` file like this: ```php 'driver' => 'redis', 'connection' => 'default', 'lottery' => [2, 100], 'cookie' => 'myapp_session', 'expiration' => 120, 'path' => '/', 'domain' => null, 'secure' => false, 'http_only' => true, 'same_site' => 'lax', ``` However, during high traffic periods, I notice that some user sessions are not persisting, and I get the following behavior in my logs: ``` Session data could not be retrieved for key: myapp_session ``` I’ve checked my Redis configuration and it seems to be working fine. In my `config/database.php`, the Redis settings are: ```php 'redis' => [ 'client' => 'predis', 'default' => [ 'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'), 'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null), 'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379), 'database' => 0, ], ], ``` I’ve also tried adjusting the timeout settings in Redis, but that didn't seem to resolve the scenario. Additionally, when I run `php artisan session:clear`, it temporarily resolves the question, but it always returns after some time. I suspect it might be related to the session garbage collection settings, but I’m not sure how to configure those correctly in the context of using Redis. Can anyone suggest how to properly configure Laravel sessions with Redis to ensure that session data is reliably persisted? Any insights on session handling best practices in this context would also be appreciated. I recently upgraded to Php latest.
