Hi I am using rails 2.3.8 with mysql 5.1. In my attachment model the validation was validates_attachment_size :attachment, :less_than => 2.megabytes, :message => "Upload file size should not exceeds 2 MB" And my /etc/my.ini has max_allowed_packet = 16M The above worked perfectly. But now I need file limit size as 10 MB instead of 2 MB. So I changed validation like validates_attachment_size :attachment, :less_than => 10.megabytes, :message => "Upload file size should not exceeds 10 MB" And now when I tried to attach a file with size 9.2 MB it gets stuck for long. No attachment happens. Please help Thanks Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
