Problem
The system is not removing sessions from the location in your session configuration automatically.
Cause
The location in the session.save_path
PHP setting (or the database table when using database sessions) is using non-standard values for the PHP session.gc_probability
and session.gc_divisor
settings. Most commonly, this is 0
for one or both of them.
These settings are part of a probability-based calculation and have values of 1
and 1000
respectively, meaning that there is a 1% chance of executing garbage collection per request.
Solution
Work with your hosting provider or system administrator to return these settings to their default values.
