Use config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => > "_myapp_session", :secret => "some secret phrase of at least 30 > characters" } in config/environment.rb Well, it's telling you how to fix it. You need to put something like config.action_controller.session = { :session_key = "-myapp_session", # where myapp should be the name of your application instead of myap :secret => "Some Random String at least 30 characters long, usually a long hexadecimal string" } somewhere inside the intializer block (which begins with) Rails::Initializer.run do |config| inside config/environment.rb You can and probably should use rake secret to generate the secret. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
