Hi, My problem is similar to: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/783a7821b13517ca/8c9543e2e6e79472?lnk=gst&q=outside+the+root&rnum=2&hl=en I am using attachment_fu to allows users to upload their own images. However I want to store them outside of my applications root. Then, when I ''cap deploy'', I wont wipe them all. I can then use :after_update_code to set a symlink and just update that with each deployment. Does anyone know of a solution? Rails seems to always look inside ''public/images'' and I know that you can use the plugin ''multi-asset-locations'' to set a particular asset_host for images but I didn''t quite understand how: :images => "http://images.domain.com" relates to a particular folder on the site?? Any nods in the right direction would be much appreciated.

What we did is wrote a simple controller that handles the mechanics
of reading a binary file and pumping it out as the response.
def get_asset
asset = FileAsset.find(params[:id])
disposition = ''attachment''
if asset.mime_type == ''image/x-png'' or
asset.mime_type == ''image/gif'' or asset.mime_type ==
''image/jpeg'' :
disposition = ''inline''
end
send_file asset.file_path, :type =>
asset.mime_type, :disposition => disposition
end

Just for other people suffering the same problem. I used a hack in the end to copy all the images from a folder in my application to one outside the application. THEN updated the code, THEN copied it back. All done using capistrano tasks: task :before_deploy do run "cp -r /home/domainName/appName/current/trunk/public/ image_uploads/* /home/domainName/image_backup/" end task :after_deploy, :roles => [:app, :db, :web] do run "cp -r /home/domainName/image_backup/* /home/domainName/appName/ current/trunk/public/image_uploads/" run "rm -rf /home/domainName/image_backup/*" end Hope someone finds that useful.
