Symfony2 FosUserBundle is loosing session

Question

I am using FosUserBundle to register and authenticate users in my website. But i am having troubles with it cause user session is loosen very soon. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, and then user is redirected to the login form again, causing many users to left my website.

This is what i currently have in my project:

composer.json

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Ok, i have noticed that fosuserbundle is loosing session with Symfony 2.6, so i switched to 2.3 and now it seems to be working.

Thank you very much.

Answer 2

I think the problem is the translation. Got the same errors, try to remove the locale in your parameter and reset it with ~

Please post if it was the problem
