Please help.....!
I have built a site that works/worked absolutely fine on my test server.
When I transferred it to a remote web host (the intended permanent home of
the site) something very worrying keeps happening to my site.
I use, as is the norm, session variables to store login information. At the
top of each page I do a check that Session("isLogg edIn") = "True", and if
not then the system logs them back out.
The serious problem is that once you have logged into the site, the next
page you try to open it fails the above check and logs you out! Obviously
Session("isLogg edIn") is not equal to "True" so it assumes you aren't logged
in. So basically the session variables are getting lost/cleared.
This makes my site unusable, and is a disaster for it unless I can get a
solution.
Any ideas? Any help will be very, very appreciated.

That page has a few interesting suggestions, but the weird thing for me is
that I *never* had this problem when it ran on my test server... only my
new remote host (DiscountASP.NE T). It's the same code that has been copied
over - it also works when viewed on some client browsers, but not others.
It's a nightmare.....

I don't think this has anything to do with code, for what it's worth.

Is this a known problem that is sometimes unfixable?

Any idea why it works fine when running on one test server, but not when
running on one of the most popular ASP hosts?
Should I forget about using session variables? What is the alternative for
security issues such as logging users in?

Which of the items in that last have you eliminated?

I knew it was only affecting some browsers on some machines (very
inconsistent), but the last half-hour has really confused me.
I was composing an email to DiscountASP.NET and when I just started it I
went into my application and the session variable(s) were lost, as expected.
Half-way through the email I went back into the site and it worked fine
(each page opened fine). I've just now went back into the site and it's no
longer working. Exact same webserver, url, code & client browser. I even
logged into the site with the same test user.
With regards the list of problems;
Due to the fact it sometimes works I've eliminated 1, 2, 3 & 4.
I can probably eliminate 5 & 8 as the application works fine on my test
server.
6 & 7 I couldn't guarantee as I'm not hosting the server but I'd imagine a
respected host such as DiscountASP.NET would make sure these things work.

Yes. If your site requires Internet Explorer, then it may be unfixable. Do
you experience the same problems with Gecko-based browsers?

Any chance DiscountASP.NET uses server farms?
