    <p>I'm in the process of upgrading a Rails app from Rails 2 directly to Rails 4. I'm using the new <code>/config/initializers/session_store.rb</code> file, with CookieStore, but for some reason my sessions are not saving.</p> <p>When trying to do something along the lines of <code>render :text =&gt; "#{request.session_options[:id]}"</code> I get a new session ID every refresh.</p> <p>I've tried on different browsers, and all should be accepting cookies. </p> <p>I have no idea what's going on. Why won't these sessions persist?!</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> thank you all for your suggestions. Here's a little more information, and a few things I've noticed:</p> <ul> <li>First, about my set up -- I'm running the server with Rails 4/Ruby 2 through RVM on an Ubuntu VM on my Windows 7 machine. </li> <li>Although I'm upgrading from Rails 2, that only really applies to the models/controllers/views/etc -- I generated a new Rails 4 application for all of the supporting infrastructure.</li> <li>I created another application on the same VM that JUST sets a session and then displays, and that works fine.</li> <li>What the session is storing varies slightly depending on what the user is doing, but usually it holds simply a user id (just an integer), and occasionally a little more -- (i first noticed this manifesting itself while trying to pass an OAuth token from the OAuth gem.) </li> <li>I've noticed that if the VM's system clock falls behind the Windows 7 host machine clock, the user id sessions hold. That causes other problems, especially with OAuth, but there seems to just be a time issue somewhere. I've tried doing things like removing the time zone from my environments/development.rb, but that did not help.</li> </ul>

    1. COCan you post the contents of the file. Do you have secret_token defined? Any warning inside rails log?

    2. COSure @jurglic -- the session_store.rb file is `Uplinkr4::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_uplinkr4_session'`, and a secret token is defined in secret_token.rb. I see absolutely no warnings (related to this) in my log.

    3. COLooks right. Have you restarted server after changing those files? And you don't have by any chance disabled cookies in the browser?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
