File Upload Size Limits

Is there some sort of file upload size limit in Rails? I followed the
Howto and am trying to upload into a mediumblob, but it only inserts
65k worth of data. I can manually insert more into my blobs, so I
don''t think it''s a database issue. MySQL''s
max_packet_size defaults to
1MB, so that shouldn''t be a problem.

If I insert more than 65k, I can stream the data just fine from my rails app.

I also added a LimitRequestBody directive in Apache, just in case the
default was 65k, but I don''t think it is.

I''m having this same issue on a Linux box and OSX, pointing at two
different databases. My upload code looks like this:

new_filename =
File.basename(@params[''file''].original_filename)
filename = new_filename.sub(/[^\w\.\-]/,''_'')

file = Psmfile.new
file.name = new_filename
file.data = @params[''file''].read
file.save

Does anyone know what the problem might be?
