I just installed attachment\_fu and for some reason, it seems to be looking in the wrong location for my images. I have a Product model that belongs to a photo model. the photo model has the attachment\_fu installed and configured like so: class Photo \< ActiveRecord::Base has\_attachment :content\_type =\> :image, #Allow standard image formats :path\_prefix =\> ‘public/photos’, #Where to store the uploaded images (shouldn’t need this) :storage =\> :file\_system, #Store files in the filesystem :max\_size =\> 1.megabyte, #Maximum image size, 1Mb :thumbnails =\> {:thumb =\> ‘120x90’} #Create one thumbnail 120x90 validates\_as\_attachment end In my Product model, I have a method to return the file path for simplification or a stock image if not found: def photo\_filename retval = “/images/no\_image.gif” ``` unless not photo.nil? then retval = photo.public_filename end retval ``` end For some reason, Product.photo\_filename keeps returning my $HOME directory: No such file or directory - “/Users/stamosunas” The whole trace is below… it seems to be in the attachment\_fu code itself where there is a problem: /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:75:in `mkdir' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:75:in`rootdir’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:84:in `directory' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:258:in`so\_name’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:292:in `load_cache' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.3/lib/inline.rb:659:in`inline’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/image\_science-1.1.2/lib/image\_science.rb:84 /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:32:in `gem_original_require' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in`require’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:495:in `require' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:342:in`new\_constants\_in’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:495:in `require' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/attachment_fu/lib/technoweenie/ attachment_fu/processors/image_science_processor.rb:1 /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:203:in`load\_without\_new\_constant\_marking’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:203:in `load_file' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:342:in`new\_constants\_in’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:202:in `load_file' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:94:in`require\_or\_load’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:248:in `load_missing_constant' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:452:in`const\_missing’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/attachment\_fu/lib/technoweenie/ attachment\_fu.rb:85:in `const_get' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/attachment_fu/lib/technoweenie/ attachment_fu.rb:85:in`has\_attachment’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/models/photo.rb:7 #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/models/product.rb:150:in `photo_filename' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/mgs/_featured_items.rhtml:20:in`\_run\_rhtml\_47app47views47mgs47\_featured\_items46rhtml’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/views/mgs/\_featured\_items.rhtml:13:in `each' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/mgs/_featured_items.rhtml:13:in`\_run\_rhtml\_47app47views47mgs47\_featured\_items46rhtml’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/views/mgs/index.rhtml:4:in `_run_rhtml_47app47views47mgs47index46rhtml' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/mgs_controller.rb:14:in`call’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/controllers/mgs\_controller.rb:14 /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ bin/mongrel\_rails:16:in `load’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/ bin/mongrel\_rails:16 Any idea would be helpful.

Update: This seems to be an issue with ImageScience. When I installed and switched over to ImageMagick with RMagick, I was able to upload a photo and have the thumbnail created correctly. Scott
