Session active_record_store

I attempted to make a toy rails 2.3.5 application in Debian 'squeeze' that uses the database to store sessions.

My environment.rb is

   require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')

   Rails::Initializer.run do |config|       config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store       config.time_zone = 'UTC'    end

My routes.rb is

   ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|       map.root(:controller => 'application')    end

My views consist of app/views/application/index.html.erb which contains

   Hello World <%= Time.zone.now %>

I removed public/index.html. I ran 'rake db:sessions:create' followed by 'rake db:migrate' which created a table 'sessions' in the postgres database 'railsapp_development'.

The app starts without error and brings up the 'Hello World' page. It doesn't attempt to set a cookie and no row appears in the sessions table.

What's wrong?

Thanks

Rails won't create a session until you try and use one, which you don't appear to be doing

How does one "use a session"?

u write in your controller session[:blala] if u not write it, u are not using session
