I''m trying to do a simple file (image) upload and I''m running into trouble with permission to upload the file System: XP User staus: local admin Rails env: Instant rails w/Mongrel (vanilla setup) local site www.sgm.com (host file setup local port 3010 apache modifed to proxy (per instant rails setup) I''ve added a directory called "media" under the public directory in my application in my npicture.rb ... File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/media/#{@filename}", "wb") do |f| f.write(@temp_file.read) end ... When I run this I get Permission denied - C:/InstantRails/rails_apps/SGM/public/media/ When I look at file/folder properties the attributes are set to read-only and the system does not respect a change to that check box and I''ve set all users on the system to have full controll of the InstantRails directory and all subdirectories - still shows read only) Could there be some tweaking necessary to the apache config (perhaps a Directory element in the VirtualHost element) for the site which is more then just the vanilla? I usually develop on OSX but I''m stuck and a win box for the next couple of weeks. Part of me wants to just say "stupid windows" and just wait until I can get back to my Mac.... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
