mod_rails and Paperclip problem Paperclip::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError

Question

Hello,

I am havingn troble deploying my app to a server runing ubuntu with mod_rails. Runing webrick on the server seems fine and I can save files, no problem. But runing the app thru nginx, I get this error when I try to save a file.

[paperclip] An error was received while processing: # [paperclip] An error was received while processing: # R

Answer 1

The path to ImageMagick is getting lost, try adding

Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path] = '/opt/local/bin'

to your config.

Answer 2

Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path]

Is deprecated, apparently. Try:

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin"

Which worked for me. Adjust path to ImageMagick as needed.

Answer 3

Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path] = '/opt/local/bin'

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = '/opt/local/bin' i tried both of these lines inside my config/initialize/paperclip.rb file but could not succeded. I think there is some problem while installing the imagemagick in my sysmtem.

By the way how do we check whether imagemaick is installed properly or not in Ubuntu 9.10 system?

thanks
