We need to test each of them so we need repeat the steps below after setting each of the session handlers in our config.php:

• database session handler
  1. Log out if you are logged in
  2. Remove any config.php $CFG->session_handler_* stuff you previously added
  3. Paste this in your config.php before require_once...lib/setup.php

     $CFG->session_handler_class = '\core\session\database';

     $CFG->session_database_acquire_lock_timeout = 120;

• file session handler
  1. Log out if you are logged in
  2. Remove any config.php $CFG->session_handler_* stuff you previously added
  3. Paste this in your config.php before require_once...lib/setup.php

     $CFG->session_handler_class = '\core\session\file';

     $CFG->session_file_save_path = $CFG->dataroot.'/sessions';
