Hi all,  
I’ve a rails project which successfully uploads images on the  
development server but fails to do it on production. The only difference  
is that the production server is on https/ssl.  
On the browser the error message is the followin:  
‘Application error  
Rails application failed to start properly’  
Whereas in the log/fastcgi.crash.log i found the followin error message:

[07/Apr/2008:10:12:39 :: 7218] Dispatcher failed to catch: bad content  
body (EOFError)

almost killed by this error

The server is an Ubuntu linux with an apache2 + fcgi

Thanks in advance!
