Hi,

after upgrading to v.0.6.9, I am no longer able to logout from admin  
pages.

The following error occurs:

NoMethodError in Admin/welcomeController#logout

I think you need to run rake db:migrate. The “remember me” function  
makes some changes in the database.

I’m not sure if this is a related issue, but after upgrading from 0.6.7  
to 0.6.9, I’m seeing this error page:

Application error (Apache)  
Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action  
(like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

a) when logging in (sometimes)  
b) when trying to logout (always)

I’ve done all the recommended steps for the upgrade including “rake  
db:migrate”.

Everything else seems to work OK.

Thanks. It solved my problem.

Now I am blushing because I didn’t run db:migrate task. Somehow it  
slipped my mind.

John,

Can you copy the error from the log into a paste bin  
([http://pastie.caboo.se](http://pastie.caboo.se))? It should look like a stack trace.

John,

That again looks like a migration bug. Did you migrate in the correct  
environment (i.e. the same as your server is running in)?

Sean,

Thanks a lot. I did “rake production db:migrate” and that seems to have  
fixed it.

Just for the record, these were the changes made to the db during the  
migration:

# kirtley:/home/usr/HomePage/Current/site3/config# rake production db:migrate (in /home/usr/HomePage/Current/site3) == 20 AddSessionInfoToUsers: migrating

# – add\_column(:users, :session\_token, :string) -\> 0.0814s – add\_column(:users, :session\_expire, :datetime) -\> 0.0411s == 20 AddSessionInfoToUsers: migrated (0.1253s)

# == 21 RemoveSessionExpireFromUsers: migrating

# – remove\_column(:users, :session\_expire) -\> 0.1476s == 21 RemoveSessionExpireFromUsers: migrated (0.1486s)

I think we need to highlight somewhere that by default the changes are  
made to the database in ‘development’ rather than production - the  
production environment should be put down specifically. Other than  
extension developers, I guess Radiant is used mostly in ‘production’ - a  
common enough thing to overlook since while developing the site, one’s  
mind often thinks that we’re working in development mode.

Cheers,  
Mohit.
