Your base_directory setting is wrong, it should be an absolute path…

Try:

uploads:
  base_directory: /www/jdhandbagfactory.com/public/files

Thanks @GawainLynch , I can receive the attachment file now, but I found that the file is not holder in the base_directory, so, it should be a bug? If i change the base_directory outside web root, everything is ok now, so many thanks.
