A note out there to anyone else having the same problem as me:
|
|
|
|
If you're trying to use [mini_magick](https://github.com/minimagick/minimagick) in a ruby application being run via [Passenger](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/) on Mac OS X Mountain Lion's Apache2, when you've installed imagemagick via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) - _mouthful_ - then you may notice that that you get a Server Error when you try to process an image.
|
|
|
|
This may be because the `PATH` variable Apache is supplying to your ruby instance doesn't have `/usr/local/bin` in it, which is where homebrew installs to.
|
|
|
|
It seems that the `_www` user doesn't check the `/etc/paths` file for additions to the PATH variable, so you get squat.
|
|
|
|
My solution is hacky, but it gets the job done. I have a file called `/etc/apache2/other/passenger.conf` which holds the details for the virtual hosts for my passenger apps. I added the `SetEnv` line at the top to force Apache to set the PATH variable correctly.
|
|
|
|
It now looks something like this:
|
|
|
|
```Tcl
|
|
SetEnv PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
|
|
ServerName my.rubyapp.com
|
|
ServerAlias my.rubyapp.com
|
|
DocumentRoot /var/www/myapp/public
|
|
RackEnv production
|
|
Order allow,deny
|
|
Allow from all
|
|
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/my.rubyapp.com_error-log"
|
|
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/my.rubyapp.com_access-log" common
|
|
```
