Hello everyone,

I’m a beginner in Ruby on Rails and I have a little problem when I  
update my application RoR in my server. Can you help me please?

My problem is:

When I code my application in my computer: It’s ok.  
When I update my application in my server I have a “bug” with cookies.

When a user come in my website for the first time, I initialize some  
cookies. But in my server I have a message in my page and the cookies  
isn’t initialize:

Set-Cookie: boite=1-2; path=/ Set-Cookie:  
\_mileva2\_session\_id=BAh7CDoPc2Vzc2lvbl9pZCIlMzAyYjdlMjNiMzg5MDZlM2I3OTZlYTY4MzZkYjdkMjciCmZsYXNoSUM6J0FjdGlvbkNvbnRyb2xsZXI6OkZsYXNoOjpGbGFzaEhhc2h7AAY6CkB1c2VkewA6EF9jc3JmX3Rva2VuIjFHTDY3TmcvclhXeXIwTG5YcDlmbzBkOFU1eW1VQkNYNUVhU2d2Qm1DdUIwPQ%3D%3D–2ea57948c303a0b69628eb3b8798eba64ef4dd44;  
path=/; HttpOnly

It’s working perfectly in my computer and I searched the problem in  
different place but no result ☹

My version of rails is 2.3.2.

A fragment of my code where I initialize the cookies:

In welcome\_controller.rb

# 3 # Dans le cas où j’ai ni cookie, et que je suis pas loggué

boite = Box.find( :all,  
:conditions =\> “capsules.admin = ‘1’ && boxes.user\_id = ‘0’”,  
:order =\> ‘position’,  
:group =\> ‘capsule\_id’,  
:joins =\> “inner join capsules on boxes.capsule\_id = capsules.id” )  
@box = boite

# Pour créer les starters et les closers

@number = 8 - boite.length

# Initialisation des cookies

cookies[:user] = ‘mileva’  
cookie\_text = “”  
j = 0  
for box in boite  
if(j \>= 1)  
cookie\_text = cookie\_text + “-”  
end  
cookie\_text = cookie\_text + box.capsule.id.to\_s  
j = j + 1  
end

cookies[:boite] = cookie\_text

You can see the error in www.mileva.eu (Warning, if you don’t visit for  
the first time, you have to clear your cookies)

Thank you and Have fun

Joachim

Your server is running an old version of Passenger (2.0.6); this is a  
known issue with that version and Rails 2.3.2. Upgrading to the latest  
Passenger will fix it.
