I want to verify if a user exists, and if so, do a password match.

My controller looks like this:

    authorized_user = User.authen         


        

Answer 1

Just want to let you know that i had this problem as well. The issue was quickly solved but the server showed the error every request afterwards. Code changes have not been reflected until i restarted the server.

touch tmp/restart.txt was not sufficient so i had to restart the server /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to remove the error message.
