Passenger + nginx + Redmine + ImageMagick

[Dreamy]

Hello,

I've installed Redmine 2.5.1 on Debian Wheezy, using nginx-extras 1:1.6.0-2.4.0.42~wheezy2 amd64 and passenger 1:4.0.42-1~wheezy1 amd64 from oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com repo.
When I start Redmine using webrick server, or under lighttpd+fastcgi, everything is running smoothly, when I run it under nginx, I get "Imagemagick's convert binary (convert) not available" messages
in production.log and also an exclamation mark near "ImageMagick convert available" on admin/info page.

Can anyone give me a hint? What should I test, how can I fix it? With passenger, redmine is runnig under user "redmine", uid 1000. When I su as this user, I can execute "convert" binary without any issues.

It's because ImageMagick is not in your PATH environment variable.
Read http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#about_environment_variables
for an extensive explanation.

You were absolutely right, 100x thank you! I've added simple env PATH; to the nginx.conf and it works just fine. Didn't know that nginx removes all environment variables by default.
