Method 1

First you need to create a Session database. In order to do this:

Look for the aspnet_regsql.exe
Run this command aspnet_regsql.exe -S [ServerName] -E -ssadd -sstype p

Where ServerName is your server name.

This will create this database ASPState

Now the configuration on the web.config

Add this sentence over

<sessionState allowCustomSqlDatabase="false" mode="SQLServer" sqlCommandTimeout="7200" sqlConnectionString="Server=SERVERNAME;User ID=User;Password=Password;" timeout="120" />

sqlCommandTimeout=”7200″ = 2hours and timeout=”120″ = 2hours

Method 2

<configuration>
  <sessionstate 
      mode="stateserver"
      cookieless="false" 
      timeout="20" 
      sqlconnectionstring="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=<user id>;password=<password>"
      server="127.0.0.1" 
      port="42424" 
  />
</configuration>
