Greetings. I’m using the forms and forms-mailer extensions to create a form to be emailed. Most of it is working well except for attachments. I’ve used the \ tag to get a file chooser button/dialog and that appears to work. In the “content” page of the form, what gets emailed, I’ve used \ to get the uploaded file, but when the form is submitted, a 500 application error is given “for exceptions thrown outside of an action”. What am I missing? Thanks for any suggestions. ---

From the root directory of your app, run “tail -500 log/production.log” That will show you the last 500 lines of your production log. Look there for details about the actual error. If you need more help, copy what you find into a pastie and reply back. -Jim Jim G. Saturn Flyer LLC > **[Saturn Flyer](https://www.saturnflyer.com)** > > Home info 571 - 403 - 0338 ---

Thanks Jim. Here’s the pastie: [http://pastie.org/1279841](http://pastie.org/1279841) Is the “Yajl::ParseError” caused by the FormsController trying to parse the file that was uploaded? If so, what to do about it? I’m totally lost here, so any suggestions for troubleshooting would be much appreciated.
