Hello everyone,
Recently I suffered the problem with the number of session files growing
very fast in my server. This worried me a lot because the server is a
development environment with only 4 or 5 testers, so when the number of
users is higher I guess I will have a big problem with this issue.
I've tried to investigate about this but I'm not expert working with web2py
or with servers, so I have some questions:
- A session file is created associated to a user each time that user logs
in. Is this ok?
- My users make a login through auth.login_bare(user, password), does this
create a session file then?
- What should be the code to remove the session file of a user when he/she
makes a logout?
- I've set my auth.settings.expiration to 999999999, does this affect to
sessions too? As far as I know it only affects to when an inactive user is
automatically logged out, is this correct?
- Testing this I've seen that with no logged users in my server, if I
manually remove the sessions files, some of them are created again!! Why
and how? As I said I have no users logged in the server.
Regarding to the logout problem I've seen that my logout method is as
simple as this:
def logout():
if auth.user:
auth.log_event(auth.messages.logout_log, auth.user)
session.auth = None
I don't really make a logout of the user so I change my method to this:
def logout():
if auth.user:
print 'check 1'
auth.logout()
print 'check 2'
session.auth = None
But when this method is called, the output is this:
check1
check 2 is never printed so, has the user actually make a logout?
I know they are a lot of questions, but any kind of help will be very
appreciated.
Kind regards!
