Maximum Sessions per Client?

[Edgardo Sepulveda]

Hi, one question, is there a limit on the numbers of sessions that a
client can have? i dont know why but suddently, as i handle a lot of the
user information with sessions, and also have added a lot of new
features,, my users are telling me that they are getting session timeout
page, that i have for when it happens, but, why now? is there a way that i
can count the number of sessions of a client?


Thanks for your help, BTW, im using a Double PIII 1 GHZ, 2 GB Ram Windows
2000 service pack 4, should have a lot memory for 100 concurrent users,
and processor never goes more that 40% in rush hours.

Hello,

If you are getting a timeout error that is different than running out of
sessions. The default timeout for sessions is 20 minutes and is configured in
your web.config file.

<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

If you are in fact running out of sessions you can increase the number
through the IIS admin tool. On the Web Site tab in the Properties window
there is a area for connections. I believe the default is Unlimited but you
might have it set to "Limited to".

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response, the strange thing is that i have setup de
timeout time, to 10 minutes, but my visitors in a lot of cases, are
getting a page that i have when the session has timeout, a couple minutes
after they login, i have tryed my self and its weird, suddlently, im
navigating on the website, and ti get the timeout page, i have around 30
sessions per user, and i thing that might be the problem, but i can t find
out why?

Any suggestion?


Thanks for your time

check the event log for asp.net recycling - this will happen if you use too
much memory. a recycle will clear all inproc sessions.

Thanks Bruce, i just checked my Log and it show something wierd, 100's of
this kind of errors (every 10 minutes)

Source "Usernenv"
Event Id 1000


Windows cannot unload your registry file.
If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated.
Contact your administrator.

DETAIL - Access is denied. , Build number ((2195)).


Can this be the cause of the premature timeouts?
BTW i was in the server console when the timeouts where happening and the
memory didnt when more than 30% on the task manager.


Thanks for your help
