end

def index 
      require 'open-uri'
      url = "#{Rails.root}/public/Job_Upload_Template.xlsx"
      data = open(url).read

It's telling you that file doesn't exist. Do you have the capitalization correct? Double check. Also, what happens if you type:

ls /home/amp/workspace/LA_Tracker/public/Job_Upload_Template.xlsx

into the command line? Can your OS find the file?
