Is there a way to reproduce this error?

Really i don't know how reporoduce, but i use Exception Handler Plugin and my e-mail have lot messages with this error

And some users reports me about this.
I think this error appears when user login after his session expired...

Got this too, but didn't try to reproduce it :/

The redirect issue is a separate one, see #7688.

Indeed, the fix "mongrel.rb" provided in #7688 solve my problem.

Just tried to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.2.0 and had the same error message as some of the duplicates:

NoMethodError (undefined method `destroy' for {}:Hash):
  app/controllers/application_controller.rb:89:in `logged_user='
  app/controllers/account_controller.rb:203:in `successful_authentication'
  app/controllers/account_controller.rb:155:in `password_authentication'
  app/controllers/account_controller.rb:142:in `authenticate_user'
  app/controllers/account_controller.rb:30:in `login'
  passenger (2.2.11) lib/phusion_passenger/rack/request_handler.rb:92:in `process_request'
  ..

Paul: can you read SubmittingBugs and provide the requested informations ? Thanks

This issue goes away with time so should be related to session TTL, try to run rake tmp:sessions:clear although I know it didn't work last time it was tempted.

for solving my problem i put rails_6440_patch.rb to config\initializers folder and my problem is gone...

I just did the same and it fixed my problem. Thanks Dmitry.

Hi everybody, we are trying to upgrade to 1.2 and we are having both problems here described... the problem is that after applying what here is detailed... there is no way... problems still remain.

Please, let me know if I'm missing something or doing something wrong!!):

• Copy mongrel.rb (https://gist.github.com/826692), patch_for_mongrel.rb (http://www.redmine.org/attachments/4699/patch_for_mongrel.rb) and rails_6440_patch.rb (http://www.redmine.org/attachments/6146/rails_6440_patch.rb) files in /<my-redmine-path>/config/initializers

Thx in advance

• mongrel.rb is mandatory to get mongrel 1.1.5 work with RoR 2.3.11. It's the only patch I'm actually running with.
• patch_for_mongrel.rb might be useful for a sub-URL Redmine setup ?
• rails_6440_patch.rb might be useful at start to prevent the hereby discussed issue (maybe only in case of a Redmine upgrade) but can be remove after some time

Thanks for clarifications. As I commented in http://www.redmine.org/issues/7688, our problem was not having installed the mongrel gems. Once installed, just with mongrel.rb in /config/initializers, everything is working. :)

Got error about method `destroy' for {}:Hash
Cant start redmine with rails_6440_patch.rb
Re-install does not help.

This issue has been fixed in Rails with 2.3.12 (see https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/8ca8ac379d8a2d10f39fdef67db545732fe95309).

I'll run test suite against Rails 2.3.14 and update the RedmineInstall page accordingly if everything go fine.

Ran smoothly.

Could you update the RedmineInstall page accordingly, please? I seem to be missing the required permissions.

I did some time ago, check RedmineInstall.

Exactly same Here! ::Sessions terminates immidiately with HTML 500

I am not using Mongrel nor Webrick but rather Phusion Passenger (mod_rails).

Using redmine 1.2.1 with proposed stack from RedmineInstall (Rails 2.3.11, Rack 1.1.1, Ruby 1.8.7) on Apache 2.2.10 and Passenger 3.0.2 on SLES11
Relogin works only if using a new browser window, so big is maybe dependent on browser cookie.

I continously get this error, so do some of my users. This does not happen regularly but usually involves browser restarts or using two computers. Usually it's fixed by going to the top-level of the installation (e.g. www.example.com/redmine instead of www.example.com/redmine/some/wiki/or/issue/page) when it miracously works again. Still, this is extremely annoying and hampers acceptance of Redmine in my organisation (currently ~160 users). I tried the various patches posted here and in the other tickets, e.g. rails_644 patch, updated install page, etc, but nothing helps.

I hope for 1.2.2 to finally fix this ... is there anybody of the core developer team actively working on this?

Okay, after I just had to convince a customer that we are not total morons for having a software that gives him 500 errors upon clicking on links, let me re-iterate this situation again.

• this seems to usually happen when the user's session has expired(?) and he e.g. re-opens his browser with the last state or clicks on a link ... i.e. if he is not logged in anymore and goes to a link with a backup_url, e.g. "https://www.example.com/redmine/login?back_url=https%3A%2F%2F%2Fredmine%2Fprojects%2importantproject%2Fwiki%2FImportantCustomerInformation
• logging in on these pages will give error 500 persistently
• problem can be solved by the user going directly to the top-level e.g. https://www.example.com/redmine/
• unfortunately this is not reproducable by opening two tabs with Redmine pages, logging out in one page and hitting Reload in the other

• "rake tmp:sessions:clear" does not solve this problem
• rails_6440_patch.rb does not fix the problem

I am now trying a newer RAILS (2.3.14) version, will let you know how this works out.

I got this error from my mobile device when a distance from my wifi, so I wonder if it has something to do with changing IP addresses (switching from cellular to wifi). Maybe it tries to reuse the session but a hash includes the ip address... just a guess.

After updating to Rails 2.3.14 I did not see this problem in the logs anymore. It also seems to not have had any other side-effects.

I'm having the same issue. Followed the install guide (using redmine 1.2.2), and it worked for about a day before this problem.

I've tried rails_6440_patch.rb, mongrel.rb and patch_for_mongrel.rb in all combinations.
Upgrading to rails 2.3.14 didn't help either.

I've spent several hours already trying to get this fixed. Any ideas?

Oh, and script/server works..
