Ruby-on-rails – Paperclip Error

paperclipruby-on-rails

I'm getting the following error in my development.log

[paperclip] An error was received while processing: #<Paperclip::NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError: /tmp/stream28514-0 is not recognized by the 'identify' command.>

And i've googled about this error and i found out that many people have solved this by adding this line
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin"

However, i still get the same error even after adding that line! I've tried everything possible!

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Regards,

Punit

The Paperclip.options[:command_path] setting is for the location of your ImageMagick executables (in this case identify). Try running which identify and setting the option to be the directory that is returned. If that command doesn't return anything, make sure that ImageMagick is properly installed.

R – Paperclip / Passenger NotIdentifiedByImageMagickError:

Identify is a command-line utility inside the ImageMagick package.

From its homepage:

The identify program describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files. It also reports if an image is incomplete or corrupt. The information returned includes the image number, the file name, the width and height of the image, whether the image is colormapped or not, the number of colors in the image, the number of bytes in the image, the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), and finally the number of seconds it took to read and process the image. Many more attributes are available with the verbose option.

First, copy the image on the server and run the identify command on it. You should receive something like:

identify ~/capture.jpg 
capture.jpg JPEG 1216x244 1216x244+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 97.7kb

If you receive an error, try upgrading the ImageMagick package on your server. You may find an updated binary release here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php

Most likely this is caused by the API change in Cocaine 4 which Paperclip has not caught up to yet. Try using the earlier version of Cocaine by inserting this line into your Gemfile:

gem "cocaine", "= 0.3.2"
