Question about active_record_store

I am not understanding the behavior of session storage with active_record_store.

In environment.rb, I uncommented    config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

I have this line in a controller (that does get executed)    session[:user_id] = user.id

I would think that this should store something in the database. But the session table is empty: x_development=# select * from sessions; id | session_id | data | updated_at

Never mind. I needed to restart the server after making the change in environment.rb.

Rick,

The only thing to do, so once you make the change in environment.rb, is to restart the server.
