I am the sysadmin and look at the server, everything is fine with the session data as we use drupal on the server in the same domain area which hasn't had any problems with the logging in or out.

If Drupal and Limesurvey share the same session directory (php.ini -> session.save_path) it could happen that Drupal wipes out Limesurvey sessions.

If Limesurvey has its own directory for sessions make sure that this is writable and the webserver has sufficient rights to create/store the session details.

Hi there.

Been speaking with some drupal developers over skype and still not able to resolve this issue. I can confirm Drupal and Limesurvey share the same session directory but Drupal aren't wiping out Limesurvey sessions as Limesurvey aren't recording the sessions even with the correct permissions to do so as they use the same user as Drupal.

Hi,

For your version/build number : look at:
- application/config/version.php

I don't think drupal can broke LimeSUrvey session. A lot of user have drupal with another Yii tool.

Maybe fix some session issue with config : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Optional_settings#Session_settings (dor exemple set the cookieParams path to the limesurvey path).

And : can you activate debug mode (debug=>2) in your config.php and look at the console for:
- The log
- Session and cookies var.

Maybe remove all of your cookies can be a good idea.

Thanks for the detailed reply.
$config = "2.05+";
$config = 177;
$config = 140821;

is from the verison.php

I've looked at the config for the Sessions_settings but can't find this anywhere. With the debug mode I've set this to 2 but can't see anything in my console or error logs.

Still welcome any advice.

Not sure what else to look into.

Did you try a clean install of LS 2.05 to see if this works? You can install it into another folder and to another database.

When this works, the problem lies most probably in the act of moving a current installation to another server by just copying the files.

If this doesn't work, then you will have to have a look at your configuration of the server.

Are you using Webserver authentication?

I had a similar issue when I upgraded our 1.8X install to 2.05.

I had to reset the Admin password with a known hash.

and then once I was logged in turn ON the plugin for Webserver authentication. The upgrade didn't enable it even though it was set to TRUE in the config.php.

There is a small not in the online manual that the settings for Webserver authentication are via plugin and not the config.php. But it is missing from the upgrade installation pages.
