From [http://api.rubyonrails.org](http://api.rubyonrails.org)

Syntax: file\_field(object\_name, method, options = {})

You should be doing file\_field :show, :upload to parameterize it  
within the ‘show’ object.

Also, just use \<%form\_for @show, do |f| %\> … \<% end %\> instead of  
qualifying each tag. You can then use f.text\_field :mobile\_name,  
f.field\_field :upload ,etc.
