Question

ColdFusion 8 - Sessions STOP timing out (after browser close)

We just ran into an issue with our ColdFusion (Multi-instance - Enterprise - 8,0,1,195765 on Windows 2003).  We have a process that logs into the database when people log out of our application.  If they click logout, if they login again before logging out and if the session times out.  Well, the issue is sessions stopped timing out, so we stopped seeing our logging process fire.

Anyone have a CF instance stop timing out sessions?

Main CFusion instance & other instances were not seeing this issue.

Restarting the service for this instance got things back to normal.

Thanks,
Mark

    Is your session timeout set in your Application.cfc? The CF Administrator? Give us a few more details.

    Yes, in application.cfc we set this.sessiontimeout to 10 minutes.  Then in our application we have a process that keeps sessions alive for users that sit in the browser for a while.  If the browser closes, the session ends after 10 mins.  But, for some reason it just quit timing out sessions.

    <cfset application.timeoutmins = 10>

    <cfset this.sessiontimeout=CreateTimeSpan(0,0,application.timeoutmins,0)>

    Our cfadministrator setting is longer than this, but shouldn't come into play.

    Thanks for the response!
