Author Session times out unexpectedly.

After switching from a server running WinXP Pro annd IIS 5.1 to a
server running Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0, I have started having
problems with sessions timing out far faster than they are set to. The
web application in question is based on classic ASP. Both servers are
setup with the same directory structure etc.

I have set the session timeout under Properties->Home
Directory->Configuration->Options to a long period (say 360 minutes).
I have even tried adding Session.Timeout = 360 in the include file that
is loaded with every page on the site, to no avail.

No matter what I have tried, sessions still timeout in about 20
minutes.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it, or how to fix it.

Noone has any clue what would cause this, or how to fix it?

Hmm, I've tried everything I can think of to still no avail.

I'm starting to think that this either involves some obscure
configuration setting somewhere that doesn't SEEM related at first
glimpse, or else it is a bug in IIS.

IIS 6.0 recycles the application pool when the value for the recycle period
has come. Look at the app pool properties instead of the website properties.
Try to raise this value to 50000 secs. It also does this if you have memory
problems.
