We were using InProc State Mode in ASP.NET 1.1 in web farm, so it fails. So, we are using State Server approach for the state management.
In that approach, we are using Batch Server as the state server. The following neccessary changes have been made in Batch Server.
AllowRemoteConnection is set to 1.
Port number is 42424(decimal), mentioned the same in web.config in the web servers.
State Service is run and mode is set to Automatic.
But, it is not working. So, we have made one of the web servers as state server, it worked perfectly.
So, we thought that there are some hot fixes missed out in the batch server, which are present in the web server. So, we have applied all those missing hot fixes, but, still it is not working.
It is giving the following error message.
Unable to make the session state request to the session state server. Please ensure that the ASP.NET State service is started and that the client and server ports are the same. If the server is on a remote machine, please ensure that it accepts remote requests by checking the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aspnet_state\Parameters\AllowRemoteConnection.
Can anyone help me to resolve this?
If we cannot make the Batch Server as State Server, then can we make one of the Web Server as State Server? What are the pros and cons for that?
Thanks in advance,
Debopriyo.
