session timeout

[Dot Net Dev]

Hi, I am working on ASP.NET C# application. Everything is working fine on the local machine but on the server my application's session timeout after two minutes. I haven't set the session timeout in web.config. Please tell me the reason of this. Also tell me what is the unit of session timeout minute, second or millisecond. Thanks Sonia

Set Session timeout as

<sessionState mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="50" />

Session will end when ASP.NET worker process recycles. You need to make sure your code is not doing something like updating web.config at the run-time that will recycle the worker process.

It is in minutes.

Try setting the timeout in the Web.config. If you don't set it, I think it could still not be the default value if the Machine.config has a different value for it. Also, any page can reset the time-out.

Yes, you're right. That's the root config applies if nothing is configured at lower level. Define your session timeout and it will work as charm.
