Session Time Out Problem

[Joe]

Hi,

I am facing a session Timeout problem on an ASP.NET project. The .NET
project is deployed on a Windows server 2003 machine. Users connect to this
machine to access the application. From time to time, users are
disconnected(unspecified period of time but less than the maximum timeout
problem which in our case is 60 minutes) from the program due to a session
Timeout problem.I have made some tests on the machine and noticed that the
problem is not from memory because the system doesn't run out of
memory.There is always at least 400 Mbytes of free memory on the system. So
i guess that the problem is not from memory.

I would like to know and if anyone has some suggestions concerning this
problem about some additional configurations that must be taken to solve the
problem.

Joe

It sounds like the ASP.NET application is restarting. There could be many
reasons for it - someone is updating files, changing web.config, anti virus
is running and causing a restarts, etc.

have a look at your application server logs look for anything odd in there -
app pool recycles for instance.

Check your cookies If there is over twenty they will overwrite session
variables unless you use cookieless session state which can be configured in
the web config file. Or better yet just use session variables.
