timeout?

[abaker]

I'm currently using version 0.8 beta 5. Earlier this morning I was creating an entry and got interrupted before I could finish the entry. When I went to finish the entry and publish it (probably an hour after I started it), I was informed that I was no longer logged in. Thankfully I had a copy of the entry on my clipboard still so it wasn't a total loss.

Is there any way to lengthen the timeout, or get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

This is the standard PHP session timeout and independent from Serendipity. You can set it via php.ini or .htaccess directive.

ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime","14400");
resp.
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 14400

The value is the amount of seconds that can pass by.
