Subject: CGI::Session / mod_ruby problem.

Hi everybody,

I am making an AJAX call to login.rhtml, in login.rhtml a new session is
created, and then I use javascript to reload the page to
/interface/index.rhtml where i attempt to continue the session created
in login.rhtml but everytime I do this I get an ArgumentError(from what
ive read means no session exists.) I am using mod_ruby/eruby to do
this.. The code I am using is posted below :

-- login.rhtml --
session = CGI::Session.new(cgiObject,'database_manager' =>
CGI::Session::PStore,
                    'session_key' => '_rb_sess_id',
                    'session_expires' => Time.now + 30 * 60,
              'prefix' => 'sessions_pstore',
              'new_session' => true)

            session['username'] = cgiObject['username']
            session.update
            session.close

-- interface/index.rhtml --
session = CGI::Session.new(cgiObject,'database_manager' =>
CGI::Session::PStore,
               'session_key' => '_rb_sess_id',
               'prefix' => 'sessions_pstore'
               'new_session' => false )
puts session['username']

-----------------------------------
I get a server error each time, the error is : [Thu Sep 11 10:38:19
2008] [error] mod_ruby: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session.rb:271:in
`initialize': session_key `_rb_sess_id' should be supplied
(ArgumentError)
