Checking up on a new-made site, I found that the sessions were being put in /tmp instead of tmp/sessions. I had created the site as a checkout from subversion. When I created the subversion project, I had eliminated the tmp directory from the project, along with other stuff that didn''t matter. I guess I assumed that rails would recreate it and its subdirectories as necessary. I was wrong. If you create them manually or run rake tmp:create (and restart your fcgi processes if needed), the problem will be fixed. --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
