My website login sets session variables when successfully logging into the
site and transfers control to a second page. However, when the new page
starts up there are no session variables so control is returned to the login
program. This is only failing on Vista Home machines IE7. It works
conrectly on Vista Ultimate, FF and XP computers with IE7.

What I see is the with the SESSION ID is not being created on the
failing machine so I assume a new session id is assigned. are
allowed and I can set and it works ok.

How can I force the SESSION ID to be created??


Thanks,

Vic

Hi Vic,

I have found that disabling Norton to be very effective.

Having proved that is the problem replace it with an anti-virus that
doesn't eat .

Not the request header, the response Set- header?

Rik,

I'm sorry but I'm not understanding how to get what you are asking for. I
haven't used LiveHTTPHeaders before. Is this a Config parameter that I Need
to set and then login to the website?

I did install Fiddler for tracing HTTP on ie7 and I can get a response
header from a working Vista (Ultimate) machine. Not sure what it's telling
me - it expires Friday


Thanks,

OK - Now this is really getting confusing! I installed Virital PC 2007 and
installed a Windows XP machine with IE6. I get the same results results on
this virtial machine - unable to handle sessions and can't login to my
website!

I would really appreciate it if someone would figure this out. I have 6
machines here but only the single Vista Home machine. Perhaps someone using
a Vista Home machine could log into the website (www.showmyhorse.com) and
see if the login works. Use a login name of guest@test.com and a password of
test. if it works for you, then it is this machine.

Thanks Very Much!


Vic

Please, please, do not quote signatures, it's a pain to react and quote
properly that way.

What I mean is I want the response headers from the webserver, the stuff
it sends before the HTML. There should be a Set- in there somewhere
normally?
