routing - Rails 3 subdomain -

i publish application selected set of individuals private beta. created sub-domain task: beta.company.com.

the application operates expected on workstation, when push server, application continually routes authentication page. fyi, i'm using declarative-authorization, authlogic, , passenger.

routes.rb:

  #application controller   match "/not_authorized", :to => "application#not_authorized", :as => :not_authorized    #usersessions controller   match "/quit", :to => "user_sessions#destroy", :as => :quit   match "/authenticate", :to => "user_sessions#new", :as => :authenticate   resources :user_sessions, :only => :create    #users controller   match "/enroll", :to => "users#new", :as => :enroll    # root url   root :to => "users#index" 

symptoms:

• anonymous routes (e.g. user_sessions#create, not_authorized) work expected anon. user
• the application operates expected on workstation

when @ production.log, see entry like:

processing userscontroller#index html permission denied: no matching rules found index # @role_symbols=[:guest]> (roles [:guest], privileges [:index, :read, :manage], context :users). redirected http://beta.company.com/authenticate

for one, there isn't userscontroller#index action, , if there was, anonymous user wouldn't have access it. i'm confused why trying route there @ (instead of root url, should go after successful authentication).

this seems sub-domain-specific routing issue, can't sure.

re-read 'error' more closely. there usercontroller#index action , anonymous user should not have access it. @ first glance, thought read usersessioncontroller#index, action doesn't exist.

now, seems authenticated user isn't being created or saved , consequently, being re-routed usersession#new action (aka authenticate path).

i changed cookie_store active_record_store:

# cookie store # myapp::application.config.session_store :cookie_store, :key => '_myapp_session' # active-record store myapp::application.config.session_store :active_record_store 

added table ($ rake db:sessions:create), did migration ($ rake db:migrate), restarted apache ($ touch tmp/restart.txt), cleared browser's cache, restarted browser.

the session added sessions table successfully, still problem.

thoughts appreciated.

for starters…

your root url userscontroller#index:

# root url root :to => "users#index"

check make sure setting cookie on beta domain. might redirecting or setting links use full url (rather path, user_url(@user) vs user_path(@user)), cause headed straight root domain.
