For all you out there experiencing SESSION timeouts ... I found the problem
.... cfserver.exe will restart after x unresponsive requests or may be set to
restart every so often ... that kills your session and application
variables.
Our server was set to restart cfserver.exe every 30 minutes so my 1 day
SESSIONs were getting killed every 30 minutes. Check your server logs, write
downwhen your variable is set (time) and wait till it dies, bet your server
restarted cfserver.exe in the middle of those 2 times.

Did you restart the cold fusion server after you changed the session
variable timeout? I have gotten burned by this for other settings more
than once.

Well, quotes or no quotes, 00 or 0, Server set to timeout after 12 hours,
it
still dies.
Thought I figured it out when I discovered that when one user logged out it
killed ALL sessions for that application, but I was using <cfset
tmp=StructClear(SESSION)> and that was killing the whole session. That
problem's been removed, I just terminate the individual SESSION.vars when a
user logs out, but my SESSION vars are still dying after 15-30 minutes. No
explanation. I tried all of the wonderful solutions passed along (I
appreciate it!) but to no avail.
TO test it, I logged into the application (setting the SESSION.aID variable
to 1) then went to the grocery store and ran some errands, came back 4
hours
later (should be a 12 hour SESSION) and when I accessed my viewSession.cfm
page, all my session vars are undefined.
Anyone living in the Charlotte, NC area, I'll give you a free subscription
to www.TheRestaurantReport.com and www.TheDaycareReport.com if you can find
a solution ... the rest of you, well, I have nothing to offer but sincere
thanks and gratitude.
This is a tough one and CFAPPLICATION and SESSIONs are sparsely documented
in CFStudio Help and Ben Forta's 2 incredible CFBooks.

Actually Ben, you're right of course. Now that I think about it, we had the
quotes/no quotes issue at the same time as the max timeout issue. We
changed
both at once, and I was remembering only 1/2 of the equation. Thanks for
the
reminder. :)
