[02/03] Session timeout

[usamaalam]

Hello everybody,

My website is running on windows 2003 IIS 6. I set the session timeout to 30 minutes in IIS but the session expires too frequently. I am not changing session timeout from code.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Look in Event Viewer for any Application Pool crashes or messages about the ASP.NET worker process restarting/crashing as well.

I couldn't find such errors in event viewer. There are lots of information and warning messages in the event viewer but no ASP.NET errors.

Thanks.

It won't necessarily be from ASP.NET, it could be from aspnet_wp.exe, IIS Admin, w3wp.exe and so on.

The best way to do this is to start browsing your application (note the time) then browse around until the session times out. Then go to Event Viewer and look for anything at all that happened after the time you noted.
