mod_rails and Paperclip problem Paperclip::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError

Question

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.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.

worked for me too, MacOSX 10.6.3 with ImageMagick from MacPorts. – miccet Jun 02 '10 at 14:45
Nice!! `/opt/local/bin` worked for me. Mac OSX Snow leopard. – Brian Armstrong Aug 13 '10 at 03:56

The path to ImageMagick is getting lost, try adding

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

to your config.

that desn't seem to fix anything, I think it's got to do with the ngingx's ENV vars since runing a local webrick instancem works perfectly – Cezar Halmagean Oct 11 '09 at 12:50
Make sure you have the correct path. I am running Ubuntu Server and it was actually "/usr/bin/" ... the trailing slash was key. – Kyle J. Dye May 18 '10 at 20:37

If adding

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

doesn't work try installing ImageMagick with common delegates:

mkdir /sources cd /sources

wget
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz

tar xvfz ImageMagick.tar.gz

cd ImageMagick-6.6.7-8

Here comes the part makes the difference

./configure --disable-static
--with-modules --without-perl --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8

make

sudo make install
