Hello all, I want to test rails on my development system. I use Eclipse with the Aptana Rails Support. But when I start webrick and want to see the aplication properties I get an Error. Permission denied - ./script/…/config/…/tmp/sessions//ruby\_sess. 6d3884b6a1a60c03.tmp or ./script/…/config/…/tmp/sessions//ruby\_sess. 6d3884b6a1a60c03.new or so. This is very stange because ruby\_sess.6d3884b6a1a60c03.tmp exist and an file with the name ruby\_sess.6d3884b6a1a60c03 without .tmp. So the system has permissions. I am Admin on thies maschine so the program has my privileges. Please help me I am a rails noob. mischka ---

does the #{myapp}/tmp/sessions directory exist? try creating it. you should probably look at using database sessions anyway. rake db:sessions:create should do that for you then in /app/config/environment.rb uncomment the line about using “ActiveRecordSessionStore” or something of that sort. ---

Hi I solved the problem by renaming the file. I tried to find out whether the tmp/sessions directory exist or not. In that directory, I saw one file (ruby\_sess.a122324b45535c6556defg). I renamed this file into ruby\_sess. When I run my application, it works successfully. When I go and look at that directory again, there is a new file (ruby\_sess.z56a768d89g00ghgl) created. I hope it will help you too. swe > Matthew R. wrote: > > > does the #{myapp}/tmp/sessions directory exist? > > try creating it. ---
