Session being lost

[vipinh]

Hi,
I have a strange session-related issue. I'm running Coldfusion 5 Professional edition on Windows 2000 Server. The scenario goes like this:

=> Page1.cfm receives a SESSIONID (say SESS_MGMT_399_46591041 )
=> every time the page reloads, it receives a new SESSIONID .
This is causing my session variables to be lost, since every time a page links to another, a new SESSIONID gets created effectively losing the old session and its variables.

Looks like this happens only when the client browser is IE 6, and that too , it shows up on some client machines and not others.
Please help ! : )

How and were did you define the CFApplication tag?

Here's what i have in the application.cfm file, which is in the same directory as the application code files:

<CFAPPLICATION name="sess_mgmt" sessionmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,8,0,0)#">

There is a list of CF5 issues here. Sorry, I didn't get a cance to read through to see if it lists your issue.
