It is my understanding that when a new session instance is created by

there was an existing session. =A0After doing some Googleing I found that I was able to solve the problem by including a 'session_path'=3D>= ;'/'
option. After doing some re-arrangement of the code, I find that my
problem has returned.

I'm thinking that I might be able to again fix the problem by changing<= br> the path of the option; but, I have no idea what it should be changed

the problem.) =A0My efforts to discover what '/' should be changed = to are
frustrated by the fact that I really have no idea what this option does. The documentation is not very helpful saying only that the session_path
is, "the path for which the session applies" and that it defaults= to the
directory of the CGI script.

Can someone help me better understand what this option does so that
hopefully I will be able to fix this problem? =A0Naturally any specific
guidance on fixing the problem directly would also be appreciated.

Thanks for any input.

Ta= ke a look at the legacy version of tryruby. I used CGI directly and did not= have this issue.

It may help answer your question.
