Anyone have any ideas why all methods in my controllers except the destroy method use the session loggin while the destroy uses the login from cookie method? It is really annoying and is the one thing keeping my Rails 2 app from being a Rails 3 app.

pls add this line in your application.rb file: “config.autoload_paths << File.join(config.root, “lib”)”
I think its works!

error occured: no such file to load — lib/authenticated_system.rb
I have to change to this instead:
require File.join(Rails.root, 'lib', 'authenticated_system.rb')
And it works for me.
thanks Mick;

I found a solution to this (I don't jnow if it is the best one) :

"Routing Error
uninitialized constant ApplicationController::AuthenticatedSystem"

Solution : Just add this line at the top of your application_contoller.rb file :

require 'lib/authenticated_system.rb'

Hi, I am in the same situation than Jonniefive and Tryinghard. Any ideas ?

Hi. I am experiencing the same error as Tryinghard below:

"Routing Error
uninitialized constant ApplicationController::AuthenticatedSystem"

In application_controller.rb I have written "include AuthenticatedSystem"

Satish, Thanks for the modifications.

I was trying to migrate from the old version to yours, without luck, so I just removed the old one entirely and reinstalled. I get an error unfortunately:
RoutingError: uninitialized constant ApplicationController::AuthenticatedSystem

The files are in lib. Is some modification necessary to make this found?

Thank you for this. Very, very much.

@Ritu – Sure, there are much better plugins/gems/engines for new app development, but if you want to drag a Rails 2 app kicking and screaming into the Rails 3 world, you NEED this plugin updated, because it was the defacto standard for auth for a long time (in Rails time).

I think Restful Authentication itself is not so nice. We have better plugins/gem to use. Tried auth-logic or devise?
