[mod_python] Sessions: Confused: Newbie

Elias,

Thanks for replying.

I am on a hosted system and the only two log files I have access to are:

.nfs..............
access_log............

I have looked at these and can not see any obvious errors.

Errors I made in the original script were recorded eg isnew() does not
exist, when I should have used is_new()

A thought that crossed my mind, is do I have to specify a timeout, as I had
assumed there would be some default value of 60 mins ?

Richard
