Hello Guys I am using rails 3.2.8 and wickedpdf. Its working well in local but not in production.Below is the production logs error.

"***************\"/var/www/apps/staging/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf\" -q \"file:///tmp/wicked_pdf_9892_0.html\" \"/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file_9892_0.pdf\" ***************" RuntimeError: Failed to execute: "/var/www/apps/staging/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf" -q

I presume that you have checked that /var/www/apps/staging/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf exists. Or is that the wrong path?

Yes Colin Law. The path is wrong. now i corrected under

config/initializers/wicked_pdf.rb

WickedPdf.config = {

:exe_path => ‘/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf’

}

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Also using the gem ‘wkhtmltopdf_binary’ will do the trick. you would no longer need to create config/initializers/wicked_pdf.rb.
