Session state enableSessionState issues in asp.net application

I get the following error in the production environment

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the configuration\system.web\httpModules section in the application configuration.

The following things I have tried as of now

  • Checked machine.config and web.config, both have enableSessionState="true"
  • Added enableSessionState="true" to pages in web.config
  • State module is also added in <httpmodules> section
  • Even tried setting enableSessionState="true" in page directive

Note: When I try to debug the code in Dev environment, everything works fine as it should.

Can anyone help me out getting over this issue, I just can't figure out a way out of it.

Solution

  • What does your session state config look like? You probably want to be set up to use inproc session handling.
