This can be fixed by adding the following to config/application.rb:
config.action_controller.session = {:key => "_myapp_session", :secret => "198aa6a2ec7d631a6478139efbfa00f2"}
I guess if this is now required to be set manually it should be added automatically when generating a new app or have some more obvious error message.

- State changed from “new” to “verified”
- Assigned user set to “Carl Lerche”
I can reproduce this problem also. It's some gotcha that user would need to be fixed by hand for old application to be working.
For the new application, I'll provide a patch which removes the template for session_store.rb, and move back to define in application.rb

- State changed from “verified” to “resolved”
Not applicable now. There is now a session_store.rb generated correctly. Prem, please reopen the ticket if it's still a problem. Thanks.
