Ok Dan!
Yes the webserver is on another Domain, but that does not explain why my own
machine can still login to the site.
I tested the session state by outputting the variable and it is defined.
On any other client the session is never defined.
Can you recommend a solution round the domain problem.
Thanks Dan.

Hi John,
What it might be...
Are you switching domains on the live server using cflocation at any time?
If so, any session/application/etc variables may not be set correctly, as CF
needs to set a cookie with CFID/CFTOKEN to identify the client machine, and
cflocate prevents the cookie from being set
This would explain why your not having a problem on the development server,
as:
1/ The cookie will have already been set
2/ Both sections will be under the same domain
HTH
Dan.

Subject: session variables
Has anyone ever experienced session variables not getting set.
I have created a login page like so,
<cfif isdefined("form.uid") and isdefined("form.pwd")>
<cfquery name="checkLoginUser"
datasource="#application.dsn#" username="sa" password="ruler">
SELECT uid, pwd
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE (uid = '#form.uid#') and (pwd = '#form.pwd#')
</cfquery>
<cfif checkLoginUser.recordcount eq 1>
<cflock scope="session" type="EXCLUSIVE"
timeout="30">
<cfset session.checkLoginUser = 1>
<cfset session.LoginUser =
#checkLoginUser.uid#>
</cflock>
<cflocation
url="#application.secureVirtualRoot#admin/control.cfm" addtoken="No">
<cfelse>
<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive"
timeout="30">
<cfset session.checkLoginUser = 0>
</cflock>
<tr><td bgcolor="#ebebeb" class="main"> <font
color="#ff0033">Sorry!</font> but your <b>login</b> details are
<b>incorrect</b> please check!</td></tr>
</cfif>
</cfif>
My application file is between the directories in a directory named secure,
and is like so
<cfinclude template="../../application.cfm">
<cfif isdefined("session.checkLoginUser")>
<cfif session.checkLoginUser neq 1>
<cflocation
url="#Application.virtualRoot#coolcross/index.cfm" addtoken="No">
</cfif>
<cfelse>
<cflocation addtoken="No"
url="#Application.virtualRoot#coolcross/index.cfm">
</cfif>
When I login through my own client its successfull, the session variable is
set.
If I login on the webserver it is also successful.
If I login on any other client the session never gets set.
