Just ran into quite a "gotcha" with using a session table and pluralization turned off (because I''m building onto a legacy system). I turned off pluralization with ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false and turned on the session table with config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store When I started up my dev server I got blank pages. No content at all. None of the logs showed any errors at all. I couldn''t get any info, failures, errors, etc. Finally I reset the environment.rb file to default and the app worked. After determining that using a file based store was working, it dawned on me that "rake create_session_table" creates a table named "sessions". Once I renamed the table to "session" all worked. Has anyone else encountered this? What amazed me is that I got no info at all as to why the app was failing. Jamie
