How can I increase session lifetime in Symfony2?

I have set the gc_maxlifetime in my config.yml file to 300. But its not working. Symfony2 still takes the value set in php.ini

Symfony version is 2.4.4

Here is my approach (gotten from Drupal configuration):

  1. set handler to native_file (i'd use PDOSessionHanlder, but seems it's not very stable);
  2. create a seesions directory under app folder;

config.yml file:

session:
    handler_id: session.handler.native_file
    cookie_domain: %cookie_domain%
    name: SFSESSID
    cookie_lifetime: 2000000 # change this if you want
    save_path: "%kernel.root_dir%/sessions"
    gc_divisor: 100
    gc_maxlifetime: 200000 # change this if you want
    gc_probability: 1

Try setting the cookie_lifetime parameters of the session config key.

session:
    cookie_lifetime: 300 # override php.ini config

as described here

hope this help
