[HttpException (0x80004005): Session state can only be used when enableSessionstate is set to true....]
Cause:
_Layouts virtual directory in IIS was not configured correctly
The following line is commented:
<httpModules>
<add name=”Session” type=”System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule” />
</httpModules>
to solve this issue do the following:
- open IIS
- expand the website
- right click on the _Layouts folder
- click on Add Virtual Directory
- go to web.config of the web application and uncomment the lines:
<httpModules>
<add name=”Session” type=”System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule” />
</httpModules>
hope this helps
