I guess I've made a stupid mistake and now cannot correct it. While fixing settings in the Global systems preferences under Administration I've changed in the 'timeout' line the '1d' to '1h', hoping that this will reduce the timeout from one day to one hour. However, it seems to have reduced it to one second! And I can do nothing in the system because of such short time. While now trying to change it back - as soon as I try to save the change it says, Error, change possibly not saved. I guess I'm simply not quick enough to do it all in one second! Please help me to fix it back to 1d. Katharina Penner
Do you have access to the database? If so you could update it directly: UPDATE systempreferences SET value = '1d' WHERE variable = 'timeout'; -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
Hi Katharina

I would assume you should be able to change parameter "timeout" back to the old value using this SQL statement in your database: UPDATE systempreferences SET timeout="1d"; If you want to set timeout to one hour you probably need to change it to "3600" (meaning 3'600 seconds, the equivalent of 1 hour). Hope this helps. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

I'm sorry, forget my suggestion... Owen's syntax is the correct one: UPDATE systempreferences SET value = '1d' WHERE variable = 'timeout'; Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.
