Since the Engines seem to be more actively maintained than the generator I'd been using, I switched over and got everything working on my development system. When I ran into a problem with changing passwords, I checked this list and found the thread about applying the before_filter as a mixin to my user_controller because I don't apply a filter to my public controller, and I did the same for the roles controller and everything seemed to work perfectly.
Then I used Switchtower to transfer my latest build to my production box. I migrated both engines, did a successful bootstrap, checked to nsee that the tables were all properly populated, checked to see the admin user was created with a good email address, and restarted Apache. My unprotected controllers worked perfectly fine, so it's not a problem with the app running. But the protected controllers? No dice. I delete my sessions in /tmp. I do an explicit /user/logout. Whatever I do on protected controllers, I get an endless loop of /user/login, using the "admin/testing" login/pw. Clicking "forgot password" gets me the same error as the post re: login_engine of a couple of weeks ago: the error related to the nil user when trying to display the flash. Again, on my dev box in dev environment I have no problems. When not logged in, attempting to access a protected controller propmpts for login, login works, and life proceeds as normal. Logging out, confirming I'm logged out by trying to access a protected controller, and then clicking the change_password link works like it's supposed to, from the email to the token-based login to the new-password page. And unlike some recent posters, I'm not doing crazy things with routes. Nothing interferes with the /user/ URI namespace. I have no idea why this is working in dev but not production. Here's what I've got at the top of each of my protected controllers, as well as in otherwise empty mixin user and role controllers: before_filter :authorize_action I do not have this in application.rb because I have a controller that at present doesn't require login. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ engine-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rails-engines.org/listinfo.cgi/engine-users-rails-engines.org
