I am trying to upload a file to the DB but I am apparently unable to do so for the following reason :
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in StoragesController#create
Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away: INSERT INTO `storages` (`content_type`, `name`, `updated_at`, `created_at`, `data`) VALUES('application/pdf', 'Err', '2008-05-29 01:39:35', '2008-05-29 01:39:35', x'255044462d312e340a25c7ec8fa20a352030206f626a0a....
If I try to upload a file like a pdf or word or excel document it does not upload. I do get to upload small text files.
This is my view :
<%= error_messages_for :storage %>
<%= form_tag ({:action=>'create'}, :multipart=>true) %> <p> <label for="storage_name">Name</b><br /> <%= text_field 'storage' ,'name' %> </p> <label for="storage_data">File</b><br /> <%= file_field 'storage' ,'data' %>
<%= submit_tag "Create" %> </p> <%= form_tag %>
This is my controller
def create @storage = Storage.new(params[:storage])
logger.debug(">>> storage #{@storage.name}") logger.debug(">>> storage #{@storage.data.content_type.chomp}") @storage.content_type = @storage.data.content_type.chomp @storage.data = @storage.data.read respond_to do |format| if @storage.save flash[:notice] = 'Storage was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@storage) } format.xml { render :xml => @storage, :status => :created, :location => @storage } else format.html { render :action => "new" } format.xml { render :xml => @storage.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end
Do tell me if I am doing anything wrong please.
