I have a website with its admin site containing session. The session is made in Global.asax page and added to master page of admin site. It's running properly offline. But at server, when I log on to admin site and come at admin home page, no page is further opening. Any solution?
Is there any need to write something in Web.config file for session. I haven't written anything in web.config related to session.

If I understand the question correctly, the problem may be related to cookie domain. While browsing locally, your domain for admin and other site is same i.e localhost and that is why the session is shared.
You will need to update your web.config to specify the parent domain to share the Session. But be careful that all your cookies and session will be shared between the two sites.

XML

<httpCookies domain=".parentDomain.com"/>

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the answer. Your answer is quite nice. But I would like to mention one important point that I have made no session in my main website. There is only one session and only for admin. Would your code work for it.
And could you please tell me the entire code that I've to write for session in web.config file. I am a beginner.

Yes, it would work. But as I said before, all sessions will be available to your admin website.
You just need to find httpCookies node in your web.config file and add domain in it as I mentioned in my answer. For more details, please Google 'httpCookies ASP.NET'.
Hope that helps!
