Image upload (apache2.0+ lighttpd)

Rails
1

Hello all,

I use lighttpd 1.4.8 and I have a problem with image uploads.

I tried file_upload plugin, but it is strangely working sometimes and
refuse to work sometimes.

Function in the controller is (@user is loaded in before_filter)

def update_watermark
@user.watermark = params[:user][:watermark]
@user.save
redirect_to :action => “index”
end

Model is

file_column :watermark

and my view is

<%= file_column_field “user”, “watermark”, :size=>10,
:style=>“float:left;width:100px” %>

Error I got is;
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /myXC/update_avatar.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

If I try lighttpd without apache, it never times out and waits for
server’s response.

So any guess?
Thanks in advance
Gokhan

Are you using <form … enctype=“multipart/form-data”> ?

Yep that is not an issue

And when I try on My Mac OS X, it works right now (strange I am not sure
if I like it yet), can it be a problem with lighttpd 1.4.7? we are
upgrading it to 1.4.8.

Sorry, I have no idea… I’d be interested to hear about the
resolution, when it happens.
