Hello Rails people,
I''m having trouble with basic file uploads with my Rails app. I keep
receiving an Errno::EACCES error with the message:
Permission denied - /public/images/diary_images/tim_sp.jpg
/app/models/diary_image.rb:14:in `uploaded_file=''
It''s likely something obvious that I''ve missed that''s
the cause and
I''m not too familiar with how file permissions work on OS X, which
I''ve switched to recently and am developing this on. If anyone could
shed any light on the situation it''d be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Snippet from the controller:
image = DiaryImage.new
image.uploaded_file = params[:image_file]
image.save!
Snippet from the model:
def uploaded_file=(incoming_file)
@file = incoming_file
self.file_name = incoming_file.original_filename
self.content_type = incoming_file.content_type
File.chmod(0600, incoming_file.local_path)
if !incoming_file.local_path.nil? && File.exist?
(incoming_file.local_path)
FileUtils.copy(incoming_file.local_path, "#{RAILS_ROOT}/
public/images/diary_images/#{self.file_name}")
else
File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/diary_images/#
{self.file_name}", "wb") do |f|
f.write(@file.read)
end
end
end

This can be done a few ways... the easiest (and perhaps most insecure) would be to simply make that directory world writeable. Alternatively, you can change the "group" of the directory so it belongs to the same group as the webserver: $> chown username:www diary_images/ $> chmod g+w diary_images/ Matt
