Hello everyone,

But its not working in production server.

ompleted 500 Internal Server Error in 4443ms

RuntimeError (Failed to execute:

“/var/www/apps/staging/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf” -q “file:///tmp/wicked_pdf_5855_0.html” “/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file_5855_0.pdf”

Hi Saravanan,

Try below steps :

1. Download wicked pdf file if your machine is 64 bit http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2

if your machine is 32 bit http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2

2. cd /usr/local/bin extract the zipped file inside /usr/loca/bin folder using command

if your prodcution machine is 32 bit tar -xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2 if your machine is 64 bit tar -xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2

3.if your machine is 32 bit sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386 wkhtmltopdf if your machine is 64 bit sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64 wkhtmltopdf

4. vi project_folder/vendor/plugin/wickedpdf/lib/wicked_pdf.rb in the method def pdf_from_string

add a line i.e (setting a path) @exe_path="/usr/local/bin/wickedpdf" b4 the line command ="#{@exe_path}................etc "
