Hi all-

I recently deployed my Rails app to a Windows server (running Apache +  
Mongrel) and am finding that multiple sessions are being created per  
request (we use ActiveRecordStore). This is only a problem in IE6,  
not FF and is not a problem on our Linux server (also running Apache +  
Mongrel). The result is that users are not able to login to the  
application.

This is happening on multiple computers and the site is “trusted” by  
IE, so it will accept cookies.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,  
Josh

I’m also not seeing a cookie created for my site in IE’s temporary  
internet files folder. This is probably the root cause, but why would  
this be happening?

Please disregard…this is an issue with session cookies.
