Rails 2.3.3 session issue in production

Rails
1

I have a problem that cropped up recently, on a site I built a while
ago. The site has a shopping cart system, that relies on a session
variable to store the ‘cart’ object.

The code works fine locally in development mode. But on the server it
loses the session in the checkout process, after the first form page is
sent - the next page loads and the cart has disappeared. Unfortunately,
it was a couple of the clients customers that raised this issue :-/

Now I have been trawling the net looking for an answer and I have a
feeling it may be due to new ‘lazy loading’ of sessions.

I have put in before_filters to make sure that the session is called at
every request apart from the user account controller. It still loses it
at this one page…

Running Rails 2.3.3 on both development and production (server).

Any ideas much appreciated! Thx

Ok… sorry - it was a problem with the https apache config pointing to
the old port number…
