Confluence LOGs me out although timeout set to 4500 minutes

[mlevy5722]

I  am trying to get teh confleunce timeout as big as 3 days for any session.

It is NOT working..... not suer why....

I did change the timeout # in file:

/opt/atlassian/confluence/conf/web.xml

to:

-----------------------

<!-- You can set the default session timeout (in minutes) for all newly -->
<session-timeout>4500</session-timeout>

-----------------------

I did stop the confleucne BEFORE the change

and I did re-start it after the change was made.

So now my sesssion should be on fro at lest 3 days or so.

BUT I move away from my laptop for about few mn, not sure exacyly how long, could be 3 or 5 mn, then when I come back, click on 1 link and then confluence rediercts me to the LOGIN page.

What the H...k should I do to get this timeout REAALLY extended???

Any other place where this timeout has to be changed?

THANK YOU!!!

The entry is made in the ... /confluence/ WEB_INF/ web.xml in the system directory.

Your web.xml is not the right one

<session-config>
<session-timeout>4500</session-timeout>
<tracking-mode>COOKIE</tracking-mode>
</session-config>

The default entry is:
<Session-timeout>60</ session-timeout>
