how to set session domain in rails 2.3
The guys from rails changed the way to set the base domain for session storage, from rails 2.2 to 2.3. .
so heres how to do it now (much nicer imho)
In any of your environment files simply add
config.action_controller.session = { :domain => ".domain.com" }
This will allow session sharing between subdomains. simply as pie!
