Move _sessions folder out of GLPI

Hello,

is it possible to move for example folder:

    /var/www/html/glpi/files/_sessions

to:

    /var/lib/php/sessions/

Does it makes sense for security? Will GLPI (and GLPI sessions garbage collection) still work?

If yes, where is better to set the variable GLPI_SESSION_DIR?

Thanks,
  Matteo

Please refer to the GLPI Installation Documentation.
https://glpi-install.readthedocs.io/en/ … -locations

It is best to create a file called "local_define.php" in the config folder of GLPI.
In this file, you can put PHP code to define these variables. Anything set here will not get overridden by the defaults of GLPI.

Example:
if (!defined('GLPI_SESSION_DIR')) {
   define('GLPI_SESSION_DIR', '/var/lib/php/sessions')
}
