HI,

I am using a cf 9.1 app, and session variables are not working.  testpage.cfm sets a session.rage variable and has a button to go to page 2 where i cfdump the session and there is no rage variable defined there.  I am working with legacy code where apparently this used to work.  Help?  cfapplication tag below:

<CFAPPLICATION NAME="advapp" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes" SETCLIENTCOOKIES="Yes" clientmanagement="Yes" APPLICATIONTIMEOUT="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 24, 0, 0)#" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 45, 0)#">

    Sorry, they were working, I was just going to a different base URL which invalidated them. i.e. my url was

    http://server_name/app_name/dir/page.cfm

    and i was going to

    http://server_name/new_app_name/dir/page.cfm

    I think session's are valid only for the base app., when you go to a new app. a new session is created.

    Problem solved.

    Have you checked the CF Administrator to see if sessions somehow (accidentally) were disabled at the server level?

    checked CF admin, using CF variables, session and application are both enabled.  not using jsession variables.
