Hi I did this for the envoirment.rb ENV[‘INLINEDIR’] = File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ),’…/public/ uploads/’) And I did this for the directory chmodd 777 uploads And now I get new Error /home/rails/dragAndDrop/public/uploads/ is insecure (40777). It may not be group or world writable. Exiting. Any ideas ---
