Check to see if your server time is correct and is set to UTC. Since PHP
Sessions are handled via cookies, they expire prematurely if a wrong
time is set. Since the time set for the cookie is an addend to the
current time, your current time must be set properly.

Also, check the php manual for how much time a session time is kept
alive. In the php.ini file, it is something like 'session_alive_time' or
something.. not sure.. just lookup that one and set the time accordingly.
