Normally in a rails app only files under your_app/public are
accessible directly. If you want to access files elsewhere then you
will have to do clever things with apache or other webserver to
achieve this.

Add the path to your assets:
config.assets.paths.push(File.expand_path(“~/my/path”))

Colin is 50% right. You can use send_data to use rails to send files
which
are not in the public folder or, as Colin
suggested, use apache to serve them.

But for your specific question, you should look at

:path option is where you save the file
:url option is the url used to access the image

to use this in a view, use the url method

image_tag blog.photo.url

Please don’t top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.
Insert your reply at appropriate points in the previous message.
Thanks.

I don’t use paperclip but my understanding that it is not normally
possible to save outside of the public folder.
