All, I’m creating a simple image gallery in my rails app and have a problem uploading images on production environment (it works perfectly on my local machine). I’m hosting it on dreamhost on Apache+FastCGI, with my own Ruby compiled and Rails 2.0.1 installed in local directory plus Rick Olson’s AttachmentFu for image uploading. I may have some image libraries misconfigured, or something, but I cannot tell, because I cannot see anything in the Rails log file when I click “Submit” in my browser. Apache access.log shows me this: nnn.nnn.nnn.nn - - [04/Jan/2008:01:05:39 -0800] “POST /images HTTP/ 1.1” 301 601 “[http://myapp.example.com/images/new?image[album\_id]=1](http://myapp.example.com/images/new?image%5Balbum_id%5D=1)” “Mozilla/ 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.507 27; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)” nnn.nnn.nnn.nn - - [04/Jan/2008:01:05:41 -0800] “GET /images/ HTTP/ 1.1” 200 1525 “[http://myapp.example.com/images/new?image[album\_id]=1](http://myapp.example.com/images/new?image%5Balbum_id%5D=1)” “Mozilla/ 4. 0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50 727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)” Nothing appears in Apache error.log and in Rails production.log all I can see is: Processing ImagesController#index (for nn.nnn.nnn.nn at 2007-12-22 16:24:57) [GE T] Session ID: BAh7CToOcmV0dXJuX3RvMDoMY3NyZl9pZCIlOWUyOWU0ZTllZDMyOWUyMTJl%0ANDF hOTczYTc5Y2E2NDU6CXVzZXJpBiIKZmxhc2hJQzonQWN0aW9uQ29udHJv %0AbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZs YXNoSGFzaHsABjoKQHVzZWR7AA%3D%3D– bcbf702a2ea8014671ecf0d66db743be9f20a1eb Parameters: {“action”=\>“index”, “controller”=\>“images”} No mention of the POST request _at all_ in the production.log. Just the 301 redirect and since I’m not implementing index action in this model, I get a 404 after this call. Anyone has any ideas why the 301 redirect may occur or where I can see anything logged? Thanks, Maciek ---

OK, I’m responding to my own post, but… problem solved. It appears that having a model named Image wasn’t a very good choice. It somehow collided with .htaccess rewriting rules and apache redirected the request. Changing model name to Picture helped.
