How to manage PHP sessions effectively with Redis in a Laravel application?
I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm working on a Laravel application (version 9.x) where I need to implement session management using Redis. I set up Redis as the session driver in my `config/session.php` file, but I'm working with issues with session persistence. Although the sessions seem to be saved initially, they appear to expire prematurely. I have configured Redis with the following settings: ```php // config/database.php 'redis' => [ 'client' => 'phpredis', 'default' => [ 'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'), 'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null), 'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379), 'database' => 0, ], ], ``` And in `config/session.php`: ```php 'driver' => 'redis', 'expire_on_close' => false, 'lifetime' => 120, 'cookie' => 'laravel_session', ``` However, I still see the sessions expiring after just a few minutes, and I get the following behavior in my logs: ``` Session store not found. ``` I’ve also ensured that the Redis server is running and accessible. I've tried adjusting the `lifetime` setting to various values, but it doesn't seem to affect the session duration. Am I missing any key configurations or best practices for effectively managing PHP sessions with Redis in Laravel? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
