this _form.html.erb partial

<% form_for @article, :html => { :multipart => true } |f| %> . . . <% end %>

has faced kind of problem before? please help

you should configure routing requests retrive article while put/post requests invoke other actions update/create articles.

refer rails guide routing more information. btw assuming using rails 2.

i recommend use restful routing. like:

map.root :controller => 'articles' map.resources :article

then:

get www.mysite.com/21 go show put www.mysite.com/21 go update post www.mysite.com/21 go create

..etc
