Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive- SharePoint2010

What is meant by session state? What exactly its functionality? How it works?

Complete Error Message:

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration.

Before you start your troubleshooting, make sure that the State Service service application is running. How you will check this?

- check the service application by the name ‘state service service application’

What exactly I did to resolve this issue? Please refer the following:
