I am getting the problem on my Ubuntu server, but it works on my local machine completely without any error.
ruby version 1.9.3
rails version 3.2.13
I have done the following configurations:
application.rb
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)
require 'csv'
require 'rails/all'
/initializers/mime_types.rb
Mime::Type.register "application/xls", :xls
#Mime::Type.register "application/vnd.ms-excel", :xls
I have got the reference from here
