I have my images stored in /rubyprograms/search/public/urlimages. I checked through my terminal to make sure that path is there and that all of the images are inside it. I link to the images, for example, at this path: /­rubyprograms/­search/­public/­urlimages/­2173513720.­jpg but my app cannot seem to find the image. For example, this is an error in my logs:

Started GET "/rubyprograms/search/public/urlimages/2173486240.jpg" for 127.0.0.1 at Thu Jul 07 21:34:23 -0700 2011

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/rubyprograms/search/public/urlimages/2173486240.jpg"):

However I know the images are there at that route. Why is this happening?

    If your app is in /rubyprograms/search, the public/ directory will be used as the root directory for all non-Rails requests.

    Because of this, the correct path to the images would be /urlimages/2173486240.jpg.

    Rails has a handy helper for images, called image_tag, which essentially creates image tags for you. The usage is:

    <%= image_tag('2173486240.jpg') %>
# will create <img src="/images/2173486240.jpg" alt="" />

    Please note that this will create the entire html tag, and assume that you have your images in public/images/.
