All the issues i see around this subject are old but i still had many issues setting up tesseract on an aws ec2 instance.

$TESSDATA_PREFIX is set to /usr/local/share and the eng.traineddata is present in the tessdata ( /usr/local/share/tessdata) folder along with the config files.

Can someone please help me find out where exatly am I going wrong?

Thanks

First of all: 3.04 is old. If you want to use 3.x tesseract use 3.05.02 There were a lot of bugfixes (not related to to you problem)

Next: if you see "read_params_file" in error message, it means (for 98% ;-)) your command for running tesseract is wrong. And you post everything else but not how you run tesseract. 

So that's all how we can help you at this stage.

Thanks for that, i did have a small mistake in the command. I'm using it via pytesseract.image_to_string(img.convert('L'),lang='eng'). Besides that you mentioned:

In 3.05.02, "There were a lot of bugfixes (not related to to you problem)". So do you suggest upgrading to 4? if yes, could you please share link to uninstall 3 and install 4 properly? (cuz i see alot of messups along that line, this for eg.)

Thanks

You should uninstall it the same way as you installed it ;-) I do not know what system you use etc.

If you are not familiar with you system you should avoid installing anything outside what your system provide.
