So, this is an update to an early query. We have a single server running 5 mongrel instances. We use apache''s mod_proxy_balancer to distribute requests between the mongrel instances. For the time being, I''ve setup SQLSession as my session manager so I can see data being written into an sql database. My question. If rails has difficulty restoring a requested session, will it simply restore and old session? I ask because what I''m seeing is odd. I can see the session created in the database -- the session id being passed correctly -- however, on next access, the application will restore a set of older session values and replace the current data with the re-written values in the database. I''m not seeing any errors in any of the log files. The problem is identical whether I''m using the STICKYSESSION cookie with the balancer or not. At this point, I''m looking for ideas because this sessioning behavior doesn''t make any sense to me. Something, somewhere, is maintaing old session data and is re-writing it back to the application. At this point, I''m trying to figure out where it might be coming from. Thanks, --TR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
