If you’re using the above combination, and you’re getting the above error, make sure that you’ve configured Paperclip to find ImageMagick in the right place. Create an initializer file, RAILS_ROOT/config/intializers/paperclip.rb, and put “Paperclip.options[:image_magick_path] = ‘path/to/image_magic’” inside of it. On Mac or a *nix system, type “which identify” to find the right folder.
Big thanks to avit on this forum for the solution.
thanks for this info, paperclip guys should try to solve this
I agree. The error message really doesn’t help in figuring out the problem.
In my case… sudo apt-get install imagemagick –fix-missing on Ubuntu. I guess I was missing ImageMagick on the server.
For the longest time I thought Paperclip used RMagick. So I spent a long time trying to figure out how to install it. All for naught.
Glad you got it working.
