I’m having a problem with file\_column running in mongrel in Windows  
2003. My app runs perfectly but, when I try to upload a picture, this  
message is shown:

c:/ruby/bin/mongrel\_rails: No such file or directory - file -bi  
“C:/apps/myapplication/public/user/picture/tmp/1274046007.99000.2388/avatar.jpg”

When I check if the picture was uploaded, it is there.

The problem is that the name of the picture is not updated in my  
database.

Have you guys had any problem like that?

Hej,

does anybody have a good experience with a CRM system written in ROR  
that could be used instead of vtiger?

Best regards

Karl

Funny you should ask… I’m currently working on an open source business  
management (CRM, document management, accounting) application built on  
Ruby  
on Rails. It’s called Journey Business Management. Expecting a release  
within the next month or so with basic functionality.

Inquire if you’d like to help with development, interesting in using, or  
just want to know more…

I’ve just found an alternative solution by taking file\_column away and  
use paperclip instead.
