Hi-

I am using the plugin “paperclip”, this is my second time using it,  
the first time, I had no  
issues…

This time, I added paperclip onto my model, no issues until I tried to  
render the images I uploaded. I see this in the development.log:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/avatars/2/original/  
DSCN2149.JPG” with {:method=\>:get}):

I didn’t have to add an special routing in my first effort with this  
plugin, so why am I getting this error? I am using the  
map.resources :my\_model in routes.rb

In the views, the images don’t appear, only as text (name of the  
file), however the source looks good to me:

![Dscn2149](https://www.ruby-forum.com/avatars/2/original/%0ADSCN2149.JPG?%0A1227851046)

Sorry, I’m sure this is obvious, and thanks in advance for your help!
