I am working on a web site and pages on my local development environment and my
Session Variables not staying set between pages. I recently installed the
development environment. Is there anything I may be missing or need to check
to make sure session variables stay set?

Check your application.cfc/cfm file to see if you have enabled session variables.

I have set session variables enables in my application.cfm. The line that I
have is:

<cfapplication name="pr" clientmanagement="no" sessionmanagement="yes"
setclientcookies="no" setdomaincookies="no"
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan("0","2","0","0")#>

Even though the cfapplication is in my application.cfm, the session variables are not staying bwtween pages.

do you have session vars enabled in CF Administrator? the checkbox is
under Server Settings -> Memory Variables...

It should be setclientcookies="true", or you will need to add
sessionID to every link and <cflocation .../>

Do you have cookies disabled in your browser. It's an often overlooked
fact that if a browser does not accept cookies session state can not be
maintained without taken extra steps to pass the required keys in the
URLs of all requests of an application.

Thanks for the help. I found the problem to be that the CF server did not have "Use J2EE session variables
" set.

It started working after you enabled that?
I find it hard to believe because this is just changing the style of
session vars used: standard CFID and session VS. J2EE session
variables...

That is a different matter. Coldfusion session management and J2EE session
management are the two available options. You might just have chosen to use the
J2EE option.

[i]setclientcookies="no"[/i]

I think that setting tells Coldfusion not to set Coldfusion session cookies on
the browser. Change it to "yes".
