Question

I am using paperclip to upload and display images in my rails application.

Everything seems to work fine until i used phusion passenger to deploy my application on apache.

In my view.html.erb, i am using the code below to display my images:

 <% for image in @submission.images %>
  <p>
   <%= image_tag(image.data(:thumb)) %>
  </p>
 <% end %>

Code for image.rb:

  has_attached_file :data, :path => "/export/data/rails/images/:sub_id/:style/:basename.:extension",
                           :url => "/export/data/rails/images/:sub_id/:style/:basename.:extension",

apache httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServberName duck:80
DocumentRoot /opt/html
RailsEnv test
RailsBaseUri /submission

<Directory "/opt/html/submission/">
Options -Multiviews
AllowOverride all
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

When i upload images, the images are stored in the correct place, i.e, ‘/export/data/rails/images/’.

However, in my view,html.erb, the images are not displayed. When i do view source for the html page, i notice that in the img src tag, submission is appended before the correct path of the image–

  <img alt="sub1" src="/submission/export/data/rails/images/14421/thumb/sub1.jpg">

I would be grateful if somneone could help me figure out what is wrong in the code above or whether i am missing something.

Thanks a lot

Try
