Redmine

Problem¶

I've installed on FreeBSD and things are running nicely aside from a few quirks, one of which is that ImageMagick convert doesn't seem to be available.

# grep convert production.log 
Imagemagick's convert binary (convert) not available
Imagemagick's convert binary (convert) not available

But

# convert
Version: ImageMagick 6.9.9-28 Q16 amd64 2018-09-22 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: © 1999-2018 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Features: Cipher DPC 
Delegates (built-in): bzlib fftw fpx freetype jbig jng jpeg lcms lqr lzma png raw tiff webp xml zlib
Usage: convert [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ...] [options ...] file

And in configuration.yml

Error¶

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "myserver" 
      port: 587
      domain: "myserver" 
      authentication: :plain
      user_name: "send@myserver" 
      password: "password" 

rmagick_font_path: /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

imagemagick_convert_command: /usr/local/bin/convert

Email works, so the configuration file is being read. The convert binary is available and works. I can execute it as the user "redmine".

I've found lots of fixes for RMagick, but that's working fine. It seems problems with "convert" are less frequent. :/

I've restarted the server, redmine, and done the usual re-raking. All to no avail so far.

Solution¶

DOH - the variable definitions in configuration.yml also need their leading spaces, or they are, in fact, ignored and the path specified isn't actually specified.

production:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "myserver" 
      port: 587
      domain: "myserver" 
      authentication: :plain
      user_name: "send@myserver" 
      password: "password" 

  rmagick_font_path: /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

  imagemagick_convert_command: /usr/local/bin/convert
