I have a web applications that requires people to login. It uses session variables to do this. My time span in the application file is set to 5 hours. It works find as long as the user is constantly requesting webpages. But if the user is inactive from anywhere 5 minutes to 10 minutes the session variable times out. How do I prevent this? I want it to be around an hour of inactivity.

Session Variables

The session variable (and application variable) default timeout and maximum timeout values that are set in CF Administrator override any setting invoked in an application file. Go to CF Admininstrator and change the default session timeout, which is 20 minutes upon install.

You can also say something like:
referring_page.cfm?RequestTimeout=5000.
Basically make sure you pass this parameter to the page that you want to run a longer time.
Hope this helps.
