What are projects using for file upload? Paperclip? Carrierwave?
Most continue to use Paperclip, though a few projects have successfully used Carrierwave. Carrierwave apparently has better mongo support.
I tried to setup ruby and rails, and installed the latest mysql gem and I get warning messages about the mysql gem.
Others have experienced this too and offered to help. The main answer seemed to be "the warnings are lies, it will work."

- There was war story told involving software that's not generally available. However, one tidbit that may be of general interest is a reminder that you don't necessarily get a perfect copy of your mysql database when restoring from a dump of that database. Mysqldump by default writes the data of each table preceded by a
DROP TABLE IF EXISTSand aCREATE TABLEstatement. This covers you in most situations, but misses when new tables have been created since the dump was made -- those new tables are not deleted. They may not cause problems, but some systems are sensitive to the existence of those tables, such as rails and theschema_infoandschema_migrationstables.
