I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite and now wkhtmltopdf isn't working in a Rails app. The browser times out with "No Data Received".

I'm using PDFkit - it has 

config.wktmltopdf = Rails.root.join('bin','wkhtmltopdf').to_s if Rails.env.development?

I have 2 files in bin:

wkhtmltopdf
wkhtmltopdf-amd64

I tried adding this:

gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary'

I get the same results

I'm not getting any errors in the Rails log. The browser shows this "Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE "

Thanks for the help!

UPDATE 1

I tried: brew install wkhtmltopdf - but first, I had to re-install Brew.

Get the same results.

  • What error do you have in the rails logfile? I think I am having the same issue. – nathanvda Oct 30 '14 at 11:54
  • BTW: I you are having the same issue, this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/26581219/216513) solved my problem. Good luck! – nathanvda Oct 30 '14 at 12:06
  • nathanvda - are you using Wickedpdf? I'm using PDFkit. Did you use the selected answer from the referred stack overflow issue? – Reddirt Oct 30 '14 at 13:57
  • Ow sorry, I am indeed using `WickedPDF` and `wkhtmltopdf-binary`, I used the answer I linked to (not the selected answer): so adding an initializer to correctly find the executable. So probably not applicable. In my logfile I got the error a file could not be found :) – nathanvda Oct 30 '14 at 14:02
