Hi, I was trying to follow this tutorial,  
[http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu), but I’m having  
trouble with the mugshots\_path route in the upload form:

\<% form\_for(:mugshot, :url =\> mugshots\_path,  
:html =\> { :multipart =\> true }) do |f| -%\>

I was wondering what the proper named route should be

Hi,

Have you defined:  
map.resources :mugshots  
in your routes.rb?

Yes, I did.  
I’m asking because I keep getting the error message “uninitialized  
constant MugshotsController” when I submit a file
