I don't know if anyone else ran into this problem but I had to put

def destroy
    #does stuff
    cookies.delete(:auth_token)
    #does stuff
  end

otherwise it would blow up when redirected back to the homepage after deleting a user account.

you didnt need to roll back you probably were trying to use/login with a user-account that was already in your database. After doing the tutorial, create a new user so the auth_token column is populated and it will fix your error. @fritzsche created a rake tasks that will fix all your current users in your database incase you dont want to do a rake db:migrate:reset.

in short you cannot login with a old user after doing this.
