All,

I’m running into a bit of a newb issue here. I’ve created an app with  
attachment\_fu which by default created a directory within public as  
“public/#{tablename}”. But now when I try and browse to my default  
action for that resource which is the same actionname as my tablename  
I get redirected to a file listing of that public/tablename  
directory… within my index view of that action I want to display the  
file I’ve uploaded but I cannot figure out why it’s redirectiing to  
the files directory attachment\_fu has uploaded the file to. not sure  
if this is a webserver (apache/passenger) or a rails routing issue…

hope that makes sense

can anyone please help?

thanks in advance

ack!

I meant to type same controller name as the default directory  
attachment\_fu creates; I get a server listing of files instead of the  
index of that resource.

my bad.

any thoughts?
