[Mono-devel-list] Cookieless Session State

[Garthfield Carter]

I am using Apache 1.3.27 with mod_mono and not the XSP web server, Apache is not dealing with the virtual session directory at all, it's returning a 404 as it attempts to look for the virtual session directory on the filesystem. It sounds like a mod_mono issue, would I be correct in thinking this if the XSP web server works OK as you're saying?

  Hi.

  Just using XSP from the command line and then calling the web page  (my system Suse 9.0) does not recreate the error.

  I have 2 demo sites running via XSP both have cookieless="true" set in the sessionState of the Web.config file.

  The browser shows the session ID and displays the page. Both apps work as required. As of yet I have not ran them in Apache. 

  All the best
  Simon
