Problem viewing my hello world app

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I've created a hello world app that i want to view but i get CGI::Session::CookieStore::TamperedWithCookie error in the browser when i run it. I copied everything in my browswer below and I've also listed the steps I took in creating the hello world.

My steps:

1. rails hello 2. generated a controller: ./script/generate controller salutation 3. created an action by modifying salutation_controller.rb file in app/controller dir. class SalutationController < ApplicationController   def hello     @message = 'hello world!'   end end 4. created an rhtml template in app/view/salutation/ called hello.rhtml using code below: <html>   <body>     <h1><%= @message %></h1>   </body> </html> 5. typed http://localhost:3000/salutation/hello in firefox 3.0.4 browser.

I'm using ubunut 8.10 and rails 2.2.2 and i had webrick running with server/script command.

That's usually an indication that the cookie associated with the localhost session (in your case it will have a name like "_hello_session") is different from the one your current session is trying to create.

Use the firefox->preferences->privacy->show cookies to remove the localhost cookie and reload the page.
