I am using drupal 4.7.4 with cache enabled.

I found that the persistent login does not work properly.

The users see that they are logged out if they close the current browser and re-launch the browser.

Wasn't there this kind of reports before?

Thanks very much.

There were problems with caching before, but I fixed them. What is your site?

I visisted the site, registered for an account, logged in with Remember Me checked, closed the browser, and re-visited the site. A new Persistent Login cookie was issued (correctly) and the site displayed "Welcome back, bjaspan."

I don't see a problem.

Hi, thank you very much for testing the site. I don't think you can read Korean. :-)

But if you can try automatic translation from Korean to English, then http://kldp.org/node/76223 will let you know that all these people who posted reply are having problem with persistent login.

Thanks again very much.

I tried Google's automatic translation on that page but got nothing useful. If Persistent Login is not working on your site, I am going to need a test case.

The staff admin of my site has found workaround.

I was using the persistent login with expiration time set to '0' so that it does not expire.

But it seems like the cron job(http://yoursite.com/cron.php) of drupal core seems to affect this value in the database.

I set the value from '0' to '30' and it works fine now.

I don't know which one is responsible for this but it seems like either the module or the cron.php needs to be fixed.

Thanks

Indeed, PL's cron hook was erasing PL sessions when the maximum lifetime was 0 (unlimited). Ooops.

Fixed in the development snapshot for 4.7 and 5.
