Migrating to Rails 2.x

I was using a old version of Rails that came along with Instant Rails. Migration was simple..

• Updated the version of RAILS_GEM_VERSION in environment.rb to 2.0.2
• Created a dummy project using the new version of rails and copied secret key for the session data integrity.
• Ran the rake test available at Rails 2.0 upgrade notes to find deprecations.
• Installed the auto_complete plugin I did not face issue with regard to session authentication ...
• Sporadically I was facing issue with Cookies. So moved to db based sessions. There is rake task to create tables ('rake db:sessions:create')andin environment.rb uncomment session store.
• Commented confg.breakpoint_server. Information is available at code snippets

As I had very little code there was any deprecated method and migration was easy. I am yet to move to new naming convention for rhtml and rjs files.
