I'm unable to get sessions using database configured.
I have created the db file "sessions'.
The only config setting I find is in app/config/session.php
The driver default 'cookie' which I have changed to 'db', and the driver specific settings are:

  // specific configuration settings for database based sessions
  'db' => array(
  'cookie_name'    => 'fueldid', // name of the session cookie for database based sessions
  'database'           => 'fuel_test', // null, // name of the database name (as configured in config/db.php)
  'table'                   => 'sessions',  // name of the sessions table
  'gc_probability'   => 5 // probability % (between 0 and 100) for garbage collection
         ),

What am I missing here?

Looks ok. Do you have a configured database entry in your config/<environment>/db.php called 'fuel_test'?

Yes, the application is working, full database, but using the default session configuration. I need to pass more information via the session and want to try the db approach.
My first idea was that I didn't have the configuration correctly set up. I'll do some more testing and see if I can find any anomalies.
thanks

If you specify a database name in your session config, it will open a separate connection to that database. If you leave it at 'null', it will look for the session table in the current database. In this case you have configured a separate database, which must exist in your db config.

Harro, thanks that was the problem. Set the db name to null in app/config/session.php and I have session records in my db file,
thanks.
