I have attachment\_fu working on my local Windows machine (localhost: 3000) But when I transfer it to Textdrive (Solaris), it doesn’t work. Any ideas? Give it a shot: [http://haloresearch.textdriven.com:8217/raw\_data\_files/new](http://haloresearch.textdriven.com:8217/raw_data_files/new) I haven’t got the logger working yet on TextDrive, but that will be my next step. Any suggestion on what things to look at first? Chirag ---

It seemed to upload fine for me, how if the problem is in the listing, consider the file location/or permissions on the directory of where the files are being uploaded to. ---

I changed the file permissions to 777 all the way down to the storage directory (/public/raw\_data\_files) for the sake of testing and it still does not work. It did work once when I first uploaded it but hasn’t worked since. any more ideas? thanks Chirag ---

What about the setting of attachment\_fu, does it use a different image processing or storage facility on the production server? ---

I’m also having problems getting attachment\_fu to work on my shared TextDrive host. I’ve tried using all three of the image processing packages but get the same error (below) with each. chirag, have you had any success getting this working? The error I get is the following: NoMethodError: undefined method `alias_method_chain' for Image:Class from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1129:in`method\_missing’ from script/…/config/…/config/…/vendor/plugins/ attachment\_fu/lib/technoweenie/attachment\_fu/processors/ mini\_magick\_processor.rb:8:in `included' from script/../config/../config/../vendor/plugins/ attachment_fu/lib/technoweenie/attachment_fu.rb:92:in`include’ from script/…/config/…/config/…/vendor/plugins/ attachment\_fu/lib/technoweenie/attachment\_fu.rb:92:in `has_attachment' from script/../config/../config/../app/models/image.rb:10 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:140:in`load’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:140:in `load' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:56:in`require\_or\_load’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:30:in `depend_on' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:85:in`require\_dependency’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:98:in `const_missing' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:131:in`const\_missing’ from (irb):1 Which, while I’m pretty much a Rails newbie, leads me to believe that possible the version of rails running on the host (Rails 1.1.6) is not up-to-date enough to support attachment\_fu… Is that a fair assessment?

D, attachment\_fu requires Rails 1.2+. Chirag ---

Actually, the server is using lighttpd. The same thing may be occuring though ---

I found the answer to my own problem After some debugging and logging, I noticed that the ‘create’ action was not being registered by Rails. The ‘new’ action would jump straight to the ‘index’ action, which is a display list of the uploaded files. Thanks to Steve E.’ June 20, 2007 blog entry, I found a workaround. Add this to the body of the ApplicationController class in application.rb : ``` def default_url_options(options) { :trailing_slash => true } end ```
