In Rails 3 config.action_controller.session does not work. You can configure the application's session data in the initializer file config/initializers/session_store.rb

MyApp::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, 
        :key => '_my_session', 
        :expire_after => 30.minutes

In environment file set:

config.action_controller.session = {
  :key          => 'whatever',
  :secret       => 'nottellingyou',
  :expire_after => 30.minutes
}


OR 


session :session_key => 'my_session_key'
session :session_expires => 1.day.from_now
