Question

Here is my code:

if session[:firsttimestart].nil? 
else
  @firsttime = false
end

if @firsttime == true
  initglobals()
end
session[:firsttimestart]=false

The problem is when I turn off the server and come back to the application, the session[:firsttimestart] is still false. It somehow stores this variable in my system without an expiration date so the iniglobals() is not called. I tried to use rake tmp:clear and it didn’t work. How can I clear all the sessions that am using in my system each time I restart my server?

If you are storing your sessions in a db then

rake db:sessions:clear
