I have a wierd website setup, because my boss doesn’t want to change  
who hosts our email server.

My website is hosted on site5, and has a domain name registered with  
them ([www.mysite1.com](http://www.mysite1.com)).  
[www.mysite2.net](http://www.mysite2.net) is registered somewhere else and resolves to  
[www.mysite1.com](http://www.mysite1.com).

When I try to login to [www.mysite1.com](http://www.mysite1.com) I have no problems.  
When I try to login to [www.mysite2.net](http://www.mysite2.net), I get an error from the  
verify\_authenticity\_token method.

I’m pretty sure I’m getting this because the session isn’t being  
loaded from the request, becuase I need to set some configuration in  
config.action\_controller.session = { in my environment.rb file.

I use :active\_record\_store

I’ve tried digging around in the abstract\_store.rb file to see if I  
could just hardcode something into the load! method so that it would  
make sure to load authenticity\_token from the request into the  
session.

def load!  
stale\_session\_check! do  
id, session = @by.send(:load\_session, @env)  
(@env[ENV\_SESSION\_OPTIONS\_KEY] ||= {})[:id] = id  
replace(session)  
@loaded = true  
end  
end

Any suggestions would be great.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean in your setup by “[mysite2.net](http://mysite2.net)  
resolves to [mysite1.com](http://mysite1.com)”. Depending on the setup, my first guess would  
be that your cookies aren’t getting resolved properly.
