uFlex and AWS Elastic

[Herick Paiva]

Hi all,

I having an issue using uFlex with Php setup on Amazons platform. Whenever I get a high demand (as it should work), AWS will scale up (meaning it will bring another server on to help out with the load) but however if user is logged in and gets to reload a page, it could be connected with another instance that it initially was connected and it will get logged out. I am pretty sure it has to do with PHP sessions.

Is there a way to move sessions on this script to the db for example? That way I don't get disconnected

I hope I could explain what my problem is!

The session is just a php session, if I understand the code correctly.  There are several ways to manage them externally, but I've not implemented any of them.

Yes this is a usual issue with PHP and sessions in general when using a distributed system such as AWS.
