Hello,

I am getting an error while trying to use the forum I am making.

I am able to configure everything in the admin section great.

When I go to http://www.kevinmcarter.dynamic-nameserver.com/forum/default.asp - http://www.kevinmcarter.dynamic-nameserver.com/forum/default.asp , I get the error.

Here is what it says:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'Session'

/forum/common.asp, line 54

Here is what is on line 54:

Session.Timeout = 20

Can someone please tell me how to get this working?  What caused this error?

Thanks,

Kevin Carter

Line 54 of the common.asp file should be a copyright comment, so either you have broken the license agreement and removed this line or you have a corrupted file.

Try reuploading the original files again.

Hello,

There is a copyright notice at the top of the file.

I have NOT removed any information from the file.

What is causing this?

Kevin Carter

I found a copy of the file from the zip file and put it back in there.

Now it says the same error, but on line 53.

Is the forum running on a Windows 2000 or 2003 web server with IIS4+ and ASP enabled.

If not the forum won't work.

Have a look at the 'Forum Requirements' page in the lexft menu to see if the web server your iste is on fits these requirements.

The computer is in my house.  I can change settings if necessary. 

It is running Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6.0) and ASP is enabled.  My website already uses ASP and works with no problems.

Kevin Carter

I have tried removing it.

After I delete that one line, I get this:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'Session'

/forum2/common.asp, line 312

Here is that is on that line:

If Session("dtmLastVisit") = "" AND Request.Cookies("FLVST")("LTVST") <> "" Then

Again session is involved in the error.

Is there any way to define session at the beginning of common.asp, so that these errors will go away?

Also,

Kevin Carter

Also, I created a new forum right from the zip file.

And I immediatly got this line 83 error.

Kevin

Session is the ASP Session object, if you are getting errors when calling this object there must be something very wrong with your web server.

Try resinstalling IIS again, also look through the IIS help files and see if there is a way to enable - disable the ASP session object.

I do not have commerce server installed.  I installed windows and then configured IIS.  No other software is running.

How do I make IIS work with session correctly?  Where do I enable it?

Kevin Carter

I just went back to my forum today and it worked.  Did not change anything since i tried it last and it did not work.

The developers did a great job!  Excellent forum!  Thanks!

I did all this. It works fine on XP pro and Windows 2000 but on Windows 2003 I get the same error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'Session'

/common.asp, line 53

And as stated later i this thread 'remove' this line leads to :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'Session'

/common.asp, line 312

I've tried this on 2 clean 2003 servers.

Any ideas?

Where do yo enable the use of the session object under IIS?
