Symfony2 not respecting my session lifetime setting

Question

I have my app set, in app/config/config.yml, to have a session lifetime of one year:

framework: session: default_locale: %locale% lifetime: 31536000 auto_start: true

However, my users are getting booted after about an hour of inactivity, which is of course less than a year. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

As of symfony2.4, it's cookie_lifetime instead of lifetime. In case you stumbled across this question if you were wondering: How do I set the session lifetime in symfony2. Like me. — k0pernikus

Turns out the culprit was gc_maxlifetime in php.ini being set to only 1440 seconds. A little more info here: symfony2 session lifetime
