What’s the math to figure out 1 in 68 billion for all 18s?

Is this the way handle cookies-disabled cookies user and told them to enabled it or make rails work without cookies ?

And what is request.cookies["_session_id"] anyway ? is it cookies ? session ? or what ?

Thanks,

[...] recipe works as of Rails 2.3 (new cookie handling). It is inspired by this article. The recipe in the original article does not work with newer versions of rails. So I updated it and [...]

In the /etc/init.d/mpd look for this line at the top and edit it to match the path of the bin.

Comment out the one that does not apply to your install.

DAEMON=/usr/bin/mpd
#DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/mpd

I am so sorry for any confusion. I just checked back these are the only two paths the the .deb would install too.

/usr/bin/mpd
/usr/local/bin/mpd

Once again sorry for the delayed response. I wonder if it would be useful for the admin to have my contact?

@wn: Because the cookies_test method is defined in ApplicationController (an “abstract” controller), it can be called as an action on any controller in your application (like the Foo controller to which I alluded.) So no, that is not a mistake.

Your last statement isn’t a question, but I think to answer it, yes, it does set the cookie, but your server won’t receive the cookie until after the redirect, that’s why we need the redirect at all.

Hi,
(using rails 2.3.2)
Question, in the application controller you have a method
cookies_test and in cookies_required you do a call to
…
redirect_to(:controller => “foo”, :action => “cookies_test”)
…

What should cookies_test in controller foo do ? Or is this a mistake
and it should read
…
redirect_to(:controller => “application”, :action => “cookies_test”)
…

Or I am missing something ?
Question, on the very first page visit, the browser doesn’t set the cookie.
It merely redirects.

Ouch; Looks like the chance of rolling all 18s is roughly one in 68 billion

Yeah, that’s it,

I don’t really know how Lindylex has the .deb setup, but I would suggest looking for the bin file in the other usual places, /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/mpd/bin. As for the /etc/init.d/ issue, I suspect it would just be a matter of editing it to update the paths of any files that have changed.

I don’t have any contact info for Lindylex unfortunately, but maybe he or she will check back and reply to your comment. Good luck.
