I am porting a Rails 2.3.8 app to Rails 3.0.0Beta4. I can’t get the  
session to be written to the database instead of cookies.

I do the following in config/environments/development.rb

config.session\_store(:active\_record\_store)

The session store is set correctly - I verify that by dumping config  
after the set.

What am I missing? Thanks.
