Hi Everyone,  
Am getting an error while uploading file in application… here  
is the code and the error

Code:-  
File.open("#{RAILS\_ROOT}/images/#{params[:id]}", ‘wb+’) do |f|  
f.write params[:content][:picture].read  
end

Error:-  
Errno::ENOENT in ContentController#update  
No such file or directory - ./images/1

Request Parameters: {“multipart”=\>“true”, “commit”=\>“Update”, “id”=\>“1”,  
“content”=\>{“title”=\>“Test 1”, “startDt(1i)”=\>“2006”,  
“startDt(2i)”=\>“12”, “description”=\>“Test Description 1 a”,  
“startDt(3i)”=\>“3”, “picture”=\>“C:\Documents and Settings\kalyava\My  
Documents\My Pictures\Beautiful Quotations\CA03SREF.jpg”}}

Think the file couldn’t be created for some reason. I searched in google  
but couldn’t get any proper solution. Can anyone guide me?? Am stuck up  
with this for almost 4 days now… ☹

Thanks in advance  
Regards,  
Vasanth
