RESOLVED Very Very short dwell/idle time

Losing all my anger management skills!! Help. Whenever I am editing anything, modules, products, catagories, etc., I have to save every 1 or two minutes, else the program makes me re-log in and I've lost all my work, and need to start over. How can I increase the dwell/idle time? Or is there any other solutions?

Host fixed, thanks for help.

It is a hosting problem.
You can try to overide it in the htaccess by putting in the following line:

php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1000

numeric is timeout in seconds

You can check the settings of your php config by making a new file in the root of your site called phpinfo.php en put the following code in here
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

now open yorsite/phpinfo.php and you will see all the config search for maxlifetime and check the number.

if override does noet work ask your hoster to increase the php setting gc_maxlifetime to a decent amount of time.

Thank you, according to host, it is set to 1441, but no way was it allowing over minutes idle time, most was 5 or less. Contacted host, they are investigating problem and solution. Thank you for help.
