Hi to group!

I am new to ROR!

I am facing problems on sessions.

First I created the one session variable.

after that I created the other one.

after moving to three pages the session was destroyed automatically.

What is the reason please help me!

Thnaks and Regards,

Is one of your pages overwriting the values? You might try:

\<%= debug session %\>

In your main layout to watch what is happening to the session.

I tryed with this in the main layout

In First Page

— !ruby/object:CGI::Session  
data: &id001  
flash: !map:ActionController::Flash::FlashHash {}

dbman: &id002 !ruby/object:CGI::Session::PStore  
hash: \*id001  
p: !ruby/object:PStore  
abort: false  
filename:  
./script/…/config/…/tmp/sessions//ruby\_sess.80c276a05c5f63ec  
rdonly: false  
table:  
transaction: false  
dbprot:

- \*id002  
new\_session: true  
session\_id: 85a794d70db26e657042b6cf5e676cbb  
write\_lock: true

In Second page also same

but we are creating other session is i.e sessiuon[:username]

In third page

— !ruby/object:CGI::Session  
data: &id001  
:username: admin  
:checking:  
flash: !map:ActionController::Flash::FlashHash {}

dbman: &id002 !ruby/object:CGI::Session::PStore  
hash: \*id001  
p: !ruby/object:PStore  
abort: false  
filename:  
./script/…/config/…/tmp/sessions//ruby\_sess.2f5da197f2fc548f  
rdonly: false  
table:  
transaction: false  
dbprot:

- \*id002  
new\_session: false  
session\_id: 62971ba072a87e78cbd7f0ee2630ab79  
write\_lock: true

Thanks and Regards,

I am having the same problem. I figured out it is due to having  
multiple rails apps on the same hostname [mybox.mydomain.com](http://mybox.mydomain.com). Each Rails  
app is overwriting the session variable of the other Rails app. Here is  
the solution.

I have the same problem but i’m working on localhost and i have only one  
started application. I don’t know why after visiting some pages,  
sessions values are destroyed.

Help please!
