rails paperclip and passenger `is not recognized by the 'identify' command`

Question

When I upload a photo, my model fails validation, err well even without any validations I\'m returned this error:

/tmp/stream20100103-13830-ywmerx-0 is not r         


        

Answer 1

You will also get this error message if you try to upload a file that contains colons in it's name as of the latest version.

Answer 2

This worked fromhttp://arglebargle.posterous.com/path-environment-variable-for-rails-using-pas

Put something like this in the VirtualHost (or wherever passenger is set up):

SetEnv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin
