tracking sessions

[panda]

Hi,

I have a section of my intranet that i track with a session. That is to make
sure that users have to login before they are able to use / view certain web
pages.

In my wwwroot directory i have two locations where these files are placed.
The main files are in admin the other is in news.

With these two folds they work fine. This is what i have on the web pages


<%
'If the session variable is False or does not exsist then redirect the user
to the unauthorised user page
If Session("blnIsU serGood") = False or IsNull(Session( "blnIsUserGood" )) =
True then
'Redirect to unathorised user page
Response.Redire ct"unauthorised _user_page.htm"
End If
%>

However, i have another section of the intranet that is located in a
different logical drive. I have created a virtual site mapping to this
folder. I can access those webpages fine. HOwever when i add the code

<%
'If the session variable is False or does not exsist then redirect the user
to the unauthorised user page
If Session("blnIsU serGood") = False or IsNull(Session( "blnIsUserGood" )) =
True then
'Redirect to unathorised user page
Response.Redire ct"unauthorised _user_page.htm"
End If
%>

and try to access it after logging in, the web page is unable to detect the
session.

Why is that?

Thanks

There's no such thing as a 'virtual site mapping', I think you mean virtual
folder. Make sure that the virtual folder isn't itself configured as an
application. Use the virtual directory tab in the properties dialog and
click the remove button.

Hi,

Sorry it is a virtual site mapping to a folder not in the inetpub directory

Like I said there is no such thing as a 'virtual site mapping'. You have
either create a new web site in addition to the default web site already
present or you have added a virtual folder to an existing web site. I
suspect you have created a virtual folder and accidentally set it up as an
application in it's own right.
