How to set the Cookie Expire value and XSRF-TOKEN value as Session ?

@s4muel I tried it but it's not changing.

@insight You have to clear config cache (or re-cache)

@Snapey Now I got error as

Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\InputBag::get(): Argument #1 ($key) must be of type string, array given, called in /var/www/html/ksitmCareers/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Session/Middleware/StartSession.php on line 160

Please help

@insight have you changed something else too? StartSession.php on line 160 should just get the name of the session cookie. check the cookie value in your config/session.php, should be a string. or use php artisan tinker and execute config('session.cookie') to be sure, what it is

@s4muel I put a backup copy of the files and set proper file permissions save the problem. In my opinion clear config cache and re-cache is a SUICIDAL step.

Thanks @s4muel

@insight shouldn't be suicidal in any way. if it is, something is wrong in your setup (config/permissions/etc)

@insight that is not a solution at all. first - it does not work, does it? second - please do not do that. if i get that correctly, in that case you set the laravel_session and XSRF-TOKEN value to Session, of course it doesnt work, because the cookies are used to differentiate sessions for users, not to be the exact same value for everyone. you do not want the "value" of the cookie to be 'Session', but the cookie "expiration/max age".

i gave you the solution, here it is again: set the expire on close value to true ('expire_on_close' => true) in your config

@s4muel But that solution not works!!!

@insight It is a solution but you ignore it because you get an error. Solve the error and you got your solution.

If you think clearing cache is suicidal then you REALLY have to check your application...

@insight

• backup your cached configs (as you previously did)
• do not change anything in your config yet
• run php artisan config:cache (if you have no extended acl set up, run this with a user with permissions to corresponding folders, probably www-data user, so sudo -u www-data php artisan config:cache)
• try if everything works, last time you broke the universe. if this happens again, you need to find a cause and fix that first - this is a crucial step!
• if everything works fine, edit the config as mentioned in my previous replies
• cache the config again as in step 3 above
• now you have exactly what you want (cookies with the "session" expiration)
