Why yaml file upload does not work? I think permission problems

I would like to load in the config directory, a yaml file chosen by the user. I have a view:

<h1>File Upload</h1>
<p>Upload your Yaml Configuration File</p>

<p style="color: green"><%= flash[:notice] %></p>

<%= form_for :uploadFile, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>

  <label for="upload_file">Select File:</label>
  <%= f.file_field :upload %>
  <%= f.submit "Upload", :disable_with => 'Uploading...' %>
<% end %>

and I have a controller:

class UploadController < ApplicationController
def uploadFile
    uploaded_io = params[:uploadFile][:upload]
    File.open(Rails.root.join('public', uploaded_io.original_filename), 'w') do |file|
        file.write(uploaded_io.read)
    end

    flash.now[:notice]="File has been uploaded successfully"

end
end

When the user selects the file and press "upload" nothing happens and the file is not in the config folder. What can I do? Maybe I should use "import yaml" and load it in a certain way, how?

The log said this:

File.open(Rails.root.join('config', uploaded_io.original_filename), 'wb+') do |file|
    file.write(uploaded_io.read)
end

Try this instead
