ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken

harpoon45 · January 6, 2008, 8:25pm

Ruby noob here.

Just installed Rails 2.0, and am having trouble with updating DB
tables, using the ApplicationController.

The controller was generated using the command:
rake db:migrate
ruby script/generate controller Story index

My ApplicationController file looks like:

class StoryController < ApplicationController
protect_from_forgery :only =>
[:create, :update, :destroy]
scaffold :story
#def index
#@current_time = Time.now
#@story = Story.find_by_name(‘arc’)
#end
end

But when I go to the browser to update the file I get:

ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in StoryController#create
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken

The tmp/sessions directory is empty and the environment.rb file has:

config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => ‘_digg_session’,
:secret =>
‘cc86e984ae6e2b376f9328a73f4df2555a9f96970553b2fa4bb17cc04192c64b24a86c166aa69392100586b0ebd8c6715839bc8a3576b549b13d3157f615ddba’
}

The trace is below:
