Session variables getting lost frequently

Hi,
I am running a ASP.NET 1.1 site on Win Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. The website
has been running for about 1.5 years now. In the past, we used to have random
cases of session variables getting lost, but not frequently. However, since
the past 2 weeks, I am noticing an alarming increase of such session
variables lost cases. My application log shows about 20-30 such errors every
day. We have not changed anything at the server for a long time, so I am
confused as to why would the frequency of session lost jump up all of sudden?
Does it in any way indicate any hardware problems with the server?

I am using InProc mode for session and the IIS worker recycling is set to
default (i think it recycles every 1940 minutes) . Another thing I noticed
(through the IIS logs) is that in about 80-90% of the errors, the client PC
was a Win 98 machine running IE5.5. Does that make any difference?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To add on, I checked the IIS log and found that ALL of the session vars lost
errors involved a POST operation (no session lost errors with GET
operations). Again, is this something indicative of a problem?
Thanks

Hi, maxkumar.

Read this recent thread :

It has interesting info for you.

You might want to try to manage your session state using either SQL Server
or the built-in State Server, however, before you nuke your system.

They are much more robust when it comes to persisting state.

InProc is prone to loss of session state.

My 1st page calls a 2nd that uses same data from a database. What is the best way to get the data in the second: a new call to the database or passing array through session variable?? I seems to me that avoiding a new call will speed up things but my concerne is that I have read many posts with caution messages againts session vars. Has anybody tested session var stability in this common scenario?

Hello, It would be great if someone knows the answer to this problem I'm getting bogged down with it. Basically I'm working with an ASP.NET solution that uses the Session object to maintain state.

When I say the session variables are lost,...

Hi, I am using forms based authentication for my website. Whilst testing I have noticed that occasionaly it appears that the Context.User.Identity.Name is valid however the session variables that I have created as the website is used have been lost.

Our website contains session variables that are used to validate if a user is logged in etc. We have found that these variables are randomly lost while navigating the website. We set up some basic code (as shown below) which used a meta tag to refresh an aspx page every second. It tests whether there is any content in a session variable, if not then it writes a timestamp to a text file, recreates the data in the variable and continues....
