Problem registering Mime type

Solved the problem!

This is weird though, I had to put "Mime::Type.register "application/pdf", :pdf" after the initializer code.

The following thing worked for me, environment.rb:

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.1.0' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')

#Pagination require 'rubygems' require 'google_chart' require 'prawn'

Rails::Initializer.run do |config| end

require 'will_paginate' Mime::Type.register "application/pdf", :pdf

#Dealing with numbers require 'bigdecimal' require 'bigdecimal/math' BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE,BigDecimal::ROUND_HALF_EVEN) BigDecimal.limit(20)

Explanation? anybody?

Asylam, I have been facing the same problem and came across your post and solution. Thank you for posting your solution.

I was suprised that the Ruby runtime even executes code outside of the Initialize method on the environment.rb. I thought that was the only event handler it invoked within environment.rb. How did you know to do this? I would appreciate any insight you may have that would make sense out of this.
