For the last hours i’ve tried to get the Upload progress plugin to work by following the tutorial: [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload\_progress.html](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html) Now i have two problems. 1. There isnt any file beeing uploaded, maybe this is because i didnt create the folder where it should upload (i’ve tried multiple locations but i cant be 100% sure as to where) or its because of problem 2. 2. NameError (uninitialized constant Mongrel::Upload): c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load_missing_constant' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:452:in `const\_missing’ /app/controllers/files\_controller.rb:10:in `__bind_1171288653_854000' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/extending.rb:44:in `[]’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.1/lib/active\_support/core\_ext/object/extending.rb:44:in `instance_exec' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:313:in `initialize’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action\_controller/base.rb:769:in `new’ Now the 2nd error really got me beat, i’ve installed the plugin… yet it still gives me this error in the log… Now this is only the first couple of lines of the error i recieve but thats usually where the problem is. Anyone out there have any idea what the problem could be? Another thing that happens is that (just like in another thread on these boards) the progress bar goes from 0% instantly to 100% when its done, it doesnt show any progress at all. But i suspect that this is all related to problem #2 ---

Did you load the plugin using mongrel\_rails start -S where config file is as described in: [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload\_progress.html](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html) ? Vish ---

Actually, the progress part of the script is currently working, yet nothing is beeing uploaded, this might be because i have absolutely no idea where it’s trying to upload the files to. My best gues was “public/files/upload/” If this is the case do i need to change the folder premitions before this starts working? (note i run a Windows Vista system atm) F.B. ten Kate ---

It’s uploading to a temporary directory (Windows/Temp probably, check your TEMP environment variable) and it’s available under the controller you post to as a regular Rails TempFile or StringIO variable. Do something like params[:file].read to get the file contents. It’s up to you to do whatever you want with this file. FileUtils.mv will move it to the location of your choice.
