Rails - Dec 2004 - send file problem

Hi

I have problem with this function:
  def download
       begin                 File.readable?(path) -> true
            File.file?(path) -> true
            path = "/path/hej.pdf"            send_file path
      end

Log gives me
Processing ContentsController#download (for 192.168.0.6 at Tue Dec 07 
23:05:17 CET 2004)
  Parameters: {"action"=>"download",
"id"=>"1",
"controller"=>"contents"}
Completed in 0.000705 (1418 reqs/sec)
Streaming file /path/hej.pdf
Id will be used later so it just exists, not a point.

Page looks like this ofcourse :)


  Application error (Apache)

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action 
(like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html


Any clue?

Is there any particular area i should place my pdf/any  files i want to 
be shared on web page ?
Create some sub directory in public ?

Thanks for help
