Hey,

For some reason whenever I enable

config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store

in environment.rb, it only works in development and not production.  
Nothing in environments/production.rb that would override this so cant  
seem  
to figure out why one environment would work fine and not the other.

Any ideas ?

thanks  
Adam

Have you created the sessions table in your production database?

yea its in there. confirmed on production with data in production.log  
as  
well. Not sure how to debug this. I literally just dumped by dev db  
and  
dropped it into my prod db and updated “environment” entry in  
mongrel\_cluster.yml
