hey guys... My question involves deploying my website to the production server. I created a small batch file that copies all of the nessisary files over to the other server and that is working nicely. what isn't working nicely is that i lose my session state every time i run the update script. the session state id is remaining the same but all other data is gone. any idears? andrew
When an application is updated all session info seems to be lost. I dont think there is anyway around this. I think IIS has to reset the application to pull the new code into memory. Let me know if you come up with anything...
You can have a session-state mananger. We just deployed www.davincigourmet.com and www.oregonchai.com on a WebServer Farm - which keeps sessions active. So - when any files change, your sessions aren't lost Essentially, you can have a seperate server to store/track the session states (by stateServer or DB). It's pretty easy to do but opens up a whole new can of worms... regarding webfarms.
