Ruby on Rails

hi all,
   i am new in ruby on rails,i have one issue regarding the session in ruby on rails.I am using session , i have following condition in my rhtml

  <%if @session['user'].first_name == "admin"%>
            <table width="290" border="0" height="20" align="right" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

 but this 'session' is coming nil.i tried by setting

config.action_controller.session = { :key => "_suggestica_admin_session", :secret => "80a6825007749a785439ca8d3ff54ac37a16acefea4788fa8c9ac8e69aef11eb7f3b06ab6e8d4a0e5023fb8e8a22ea197ee74828e16d8ab7e3e130fd0da7bea5" }

this in environment.rb also tried setting value in session_store.rb

ActionController::Base.session = {
  :key         => '_suggestica_admin_session',
  :secret      => '35659c1f21207ecfeaf30aa32b72c717158eae4c41e665b7a31b26fc021890be31c8ed961cf695384030d34e3f3d0c8788d4733aac393e4003e077317c930b57'
}

but this also didn't work

can any one know how to set the session for Rails 2.3.11 and gem version:1.6.2 and Ruby 1.8.7 on Windows as O.S
