Server Error 500 --> session which are beeing locked / timedout?

Shopware 5 International (English Only)
1

Hi,
We have a recurrent issue ( Shopware 5.4.6 Build Rev 201807181357) when for example I open a preview of a product file from
the back-end and then all the shop (all pages) is producing a Server Error 500.

For some minutes the web site is in ‚black out‘ :open_mouth:
In the server log we have found

so we think the solution can be (not sure at all) to disable session locking in shopware.

In the official documentation:

​#### Disable lockingAnchor link for: disable locking

As of Shopware 5.2.13, you can disable the session locking for the database handler:

'session' => [    'save_handler' => 'db',    'locking' => false]

but if I include this code to config.php the site crashed.

Any clue/help please?
Thanks a lot

Hello rtomas,

If there are many calls on a session, a deadlock error can appear. Disabling the session locking could lead to race conditions, so it is not suited to be a permanent solution.

  • Check for third party plugins which negatively affect your shop
  • Using a faster session handler, for example Redis: Shopware Session handling
  • Not recommended: Temporarily disabling the session locking (Danger: race conditions can appear): config.php settings

While adding content in the config.php, you have to ensure that the code added is valid, or the site will no longer be reachable. Example:

<?php
return [
    'db' => [
        'username' => 'yourUsername',
        'password' => 'yourPassword',
        'dbname' => 'yourDbname',
        'host' => 'yourHost',
        'port' => 'yourPort'
    ],

   'session' => [
        'locking' => false,
    ],
];

If you do not have a lot of traffic, the issue is most likely caused by a plugin which is causing too many calls on the session.
