I'm converting HTML to PDF using with wicked_pdf and wkhtmltopdf and it's working fine on my localhost but when I deploy that code on server then I'm getting following error on server.

Error as well as Logs

RuntimeError (Error: Failed to execute:
["/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf", "-q", "--orientation", "Landscape", "--page-size", "Legal", "--margin-top", "27", "--margin-bottom", "40", "--margin-left", "20", "--margin-right", "20", "--header-spacing", "10", "--header-html", "file:////tmp/wicked_header_pdf20151126-3990-ttmmjg.html", "--footer-spacing", "5", "--footer-html", "file:////tmp/wicked_footer_pdf20151126-3990-6tmvq3.html", "file:////tmp/wicked_pdf20151126-3990-1r6mnm6.html", "/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file20151126-3990-10ir53b.pdf"]
Error: PDF could not be generated!

):

The usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf is present on production server but still getting above error.

Do you have access to production?

If you have, login with the same user as your application and the run this:

ls -t /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

If it does not give you a good result this means your application is pointing to the wrong path.

  • Great, you can accept it as the answer to your questions so that other users can do the same troubleshooting that you did. – Karim Mtl Dec 12 '15 at 22:15
