Hi John,
Hard to tell, but I''m wondering if you forgot to run rake:db:migrate
after running rake db:sessions:create? The latter creates the
migration file in db/migration/, and the former actually creates the
table in the db. Check your db to make sure the sessions table does
exist.
If you did and the tbl does exist, then it''s hard to tell
what''s going
on with your setup. If you can''t find what the problem is, you could
try the following test to see if you can''t get db sessions working:
### rails version?
$ rails --version
Rails 2.2.2
### create a test proj:
$ rails testsess
...
$ cd testsess/
$ cat config/database.yml
development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
...
### mod environment.rb to use db for sess data:
$ cat config/environment.rb
...
config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store
...
### create sess and migrate:
$ rake db:sessions:create
...
$ rake db:migrate
...
$ sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3 ''.tables''
schema_migrations sessions
$ sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3 ''.schema sessions''
CREATE TABLE "sessions" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
AUTOINCREMENT NOT
NULL, "session_id" varchar(255) NOT NULL, "data" text,
"created_at"
datetime, "updated_at" datetime);
CREATE INDEX "index_sessions_on_session_id" ON
"sessions" ("session_id");
CREATE INDEX "index_sessions_on_updated_at" ON
"sessions" ("updated_at");
$ sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3 ''select count(id) from
sessions''
0
### create test controller and index:
$ ./script/generate controller testsess
...
$ cat app/controllers/testsess_controller.rb
class TestsessController < ApplicationController
def index
# test storing something in session ...
session[:ip] = request.remote_addr if not session[:ip]
@ip = session[:ip]
end
end
$ cat app/views/testsess/index.html.erb
Hi <%= @ip %>.
### start dev env and hit it with browser (or wget or ...):
$ ./script/server -p 3044 -d
...
$ wget -o /dev/null -O - http://localhost:3044/testsess/
Hi 127.0.0.1.
### was sess data stored in db?
$ sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3 ''select count(id) from
sessions''
1
### yes:
$ sqlite3 db/development.sqlite3 ''select id, updated_at from
sessions''
1|2009-02-19 04:23:06
### done.
$ kill `cat tmp/pids/mongrel.pid`
