Hello guys,
I have a very big issue with Internet Explorer and sessions!
Indeed, since I migrated my whole application to rails 2.1.1 from rails
1.2.3, IE doesn’t keep session at all.
example:
# controller
def action1
session[:foo] = 'foo'
end
def action2
render(:text => "session[:foo] = " + session[:foo])
end
Call action1 then action2.
If I use IE, session[:foo] will be empty after action2.
Everything works perfectly with all browsers but IE.
And obvisouly my Internet Explorer accept all cookies, all sessions with
lower security level etc…
I can also track what’s going on step by step because I store my
sessions in MySQL with active_record:
Actually, each time I call a new webpage (new action) with IE, rails
will automatically create a new session in the database with a new
session_id instead of taking the existing one. As usual, everything
works as intended with all other browsers.
I don’t know what to do anymore!
Down on my knees I beg you!
Help me please!
Thanks,
Mary
I tested script like yours in my IE and working fine here.
you can check your development.log maybe it help you.
good luck
It’s really wired actually!
Sometimes it works … sometines it’s not!
Sometimes IE will create a new session in my database for each new
action sometimes it will keep the existing session 
thx anyway!

I even created an example here:
http://88.191.83.87:8080/test/action1
then
http://88.191.83.87:8080/test/action2
Try with mozilla (work as intended) and then try with IE.
Wired isn’t it ?

open your config/environment.rb
UNCOMMENT IT:
config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store
and ADD it :
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
And check your environment.rb
Have you change it, 1.2.3, to be 2.1.1 ???
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.2.3’ unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
and open your Application.rb, make sure it is correct :
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
Pick a unique cookie name to distinguish our session data from
others’
session :session_key => ‘_ProjectName_session_id’
