Answer 1

I believe this issue will be fixed in Rails 2.3.9. It has to do with setting both a cookie and a session in the same request. See this ticket for details.

In the meantime you can use this gist as a temporary fix.

Answer 3

Looks like rails 2.3.8 has changed the method in which is displays notices..

redirect_to(root_url, :notice => 'Login successful!')

might be what you're looking for.

Answer 4

instead of the line

flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"   
redirect_to root_url

just try rendering it instead of redirecting it.

flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"   
render :action => :root_url

in doing this, it seems to remember flash[:notice]

i could not get --> redirect_to root_url, :flash => { :notice => 'not found' }, :notice => Login successful!' <-- to work at all
