Question

This is strange. I just did a deploy to a cluster server, and since then, pictures have not been processing. Reading the logs, I usually do not get an error at all, but they never finish. However, on one particular image, I found this little bit at least, but this might not explain everything.. Any ideas?

And then a little later, I got this :

Answer 1

I have had a simmilar issue. It looks paperclip cant find path to execute image processing commands
Add this to product environment file:

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/path/to/image/processor(ImageMagick)/bin"

in my case it was

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin" 

or set a global path to ImageMagick in the host system
