Author Session State Problems with IIS 6

Hello,

We are currently running quite a few ASP.NET websites. We have recently
migrated to IIS 6 and are having problems getting Session State to run
correctly. Previously, under IIS 5 we specified all of our session state
settings in the web.config file. But now, under IIS 6, these settings seem
to be ignored. I have unchecked the use session state box under the IIS 6
admin tool for the specific web apps we are troubleshooting but things still
arent working correctly.

What is the hierarchy of session state settings being applied? I have an
idea in my head that it is the following, applied from top down.

IIS6
|_web.config
|_machine.config

Is this correct? If not, what is the best way to go about troubleshooting
this?

Thanks,
JBailey

This is correct.

If you want to be sure the correct web.config is applied, just make some
bugus appsetting entries..
</system.web>
<appSettings>
<add key="bogus" value="blah"/>
</appSettings>


NameValueCollection values =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings;
Response.Write(values["blah"]);

Would I need to do this for each website? I am not the developer, I am just
the IIS admin here so please give me a step by step.

Thank you,
JBailey
