The above line should not be commented out, but should of course
reference '2.3.2'.  I don't know whether that might have anything to
do with it or not.

The line above should not be there, again I don't know whether it is
relevant to the problem.

Have you done the above?   Either do that and/or comment out the line
below, at least until it is working.

That should be :session_key I think, at least that is what I have, in
which case the error message is wrong.

Colin, I made the changes you said to make here (I did, well before, do rake db:sessions:create and have the table resident in the db). I;ve lso tried using :session_key in instead of :key.....noe of which seems to be affecting it:

ruby script/server
/home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.6-p420/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/session/cookie_store.rb:163:in `ensure_session_key': A key is required to write a cookie containing the session data. Use config.action_controller.session = { :key => "_myapp_session", :secret => "some secret phrase" } in config/environment.rb (ArgumentError)
    from /home/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.6-p420/gems/actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_controller/session/cookie_store.rb:74:in `initialize'
