Session variables no longer work

kenji776 · kenji776

Hey everyone, bad news, my site is dying. The reason... session variables have
stopped working. For reasons unkown to me, the session scope seems to have
crapped out. When you go to login that works and it sets all the session
variables, and index.cfm knows about the session variables, but no other page
does. Every page keeps saying session.whatever is undefined, when it very
clearly is defined. No matter what I try the sessions just don't work. I can't
think of any idea why. I have gone to the point where I am manually passing
session information by using things like

<cfset manageswords123 =
"#URLSessionFormat("administration/manageswords.cfm")#">
<a href="#manageswords123#" target="_blank">Manage Sword Articles</a>

but that won't work for long, in fact it barely works at all becuase other
complexities. It is rather simple right now, either we figure out why session
variables don't work anymore, or i will be forced to close my site, because
they are a backbone of it. Please help, my site is my hobby and pet project, i
have been working on it for over a year, and i don't want to have to lose it.
Ill post my login.cfm code, and my applications.cfm code to see if anybody can
figure out why the sessions just don't seem to move from page to page like they
used to anymore.
