session.timeout question 1

[lovejaeeun]

Hi all, i couldn't find my answer in any other post~

If I set the session.timeout on say, page 123.asp to 40 minutes, does this affect only that page? or does it effect every page on the site?

Also, if I want to set the session.timeout to 50 minutes on ALL my pages, whats the best way to do this?

Thanks!

A session is not related to a page. You may change the session timeout value when page123.asp runs. That is when the new value takes effect. Use the global.asa in the root folder of your website to set the session timeout value; or set it on the top level page of the site. Whichever way you go it remains in effect until changed. It can be changed on any page.
