Rails 3. getting Errno::EACCES Permission Denied when uploading files on production

Question

The app works fine in development but in production I get Errno::EACCES Permission Denied error when I try to upload a file using Carrierwave. I\'m sure it has something to

Answer 1

Uhm I have been having the same issue with a ubuntu server. Uploading a file with carrierwave and then trying to read it with roo (a gem for excel files).

Errno::EACCES in IngestionController#upload
Permission denied

Permissions have been chmod-ed to 777 on that directory and the file gets created ok. I believe the issues is when reading the store path.

excelx_file = params[:excel_file]
filex = MetadataUploader.new
filex.store!(excelx_file)
workbook = Excelx.new("#{filex.store_path}") <- This is the actual line throwing the error.

Although everything works ok when executing the same app on my mac.
