Custom SharePoint Site with AAM URL giving Session error.
Posted on 2013-05-10
Hi, I have customized the SharePoint 2010 site and using c# code for session state code like:
Session ["test"].
That site is working fine with above code when using default SharePoint URL i.e. http://myworld:2456
But when using Intranet url i.e. http://travel.space.com then it’s giving error where using session:
Error:
“Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateMod
--------------------------
For Intranet url I have just made an entry in DNS http://travel.space.com with SharePoint server IP and in SharePoint Central Administration site in alternate access mapping made and entry for Intranet zone with http://travel.space.com. Site is opening successfully but that session code using for some action is not working.
Kindly guide.

Hi,
it seems that you have a second web app connected to the same content database.
Please go to central admin and verify in "Manage web application" page, that you have not the two web apps from above.

Hi,
As per given error you have to enable session state from your web config's page tage as per below.
Go to your sites' web.config file & open.
Then search for "<pages".
Now see then property "enablesessionstate" is true OR not.
If not then add this property to true. as per below code.
Let me know if you have any query.
Thanks,

Dear RainerJ,
http://travel.space.com is not a web application it is just a URL which I entered as an entry in DNS and then made and entry in SharePoint Central Administration in Alternet Access Mapping against SharePoint web application default URL http://myworld:2456 .
Means with the help of Alternet Access Mapping I can access content of http://myworld:2456 also by http://travel.space.com
So site is opening via both URL only problem is with the session code.
Dear manojce:
I had already tried the :
<pages enablesessionstate="true">
But no luck.
is there any entry needs to be done in IIS?

You might try going a step further -
Remove the AAM to the external URL.
Extend the web application to your external URL.
Create a new AAM to your external URL under the Internet zone.
Make the neccesary modifications in the web.config for your extended URL (make sure you use the object model to make your web.config mods as sharepoint health analyzer can somtimes go back and revert web.config changes!)
My guess would be that your code is failing externally because it is referencing the internal URL when the internal URL isnt accessable from the outside - this should resolve that issue
