Troubleshooting

Application Setup

Do not Call your Generated Application pageflow

It leads to conflicting constant names and prevents the generator and the app from running.

Solution: rails new pageflow_something and NOT rails new pageflow

Devise Migration without File Extension

Some versions of Devise seem to generate a migration without a file extension. When running migrate the file is ignored causing the following migrations to fail.

Solution: Add .rb extension to db/migrate/xxxx-devise_create_users file.

Image and Media Processing

Error Message in Pageflow Editor during Image Upload Step

Check log/development.log to see the stack trace of the exception causing the request to fail.

• Errno::ECONNREFUSED in Pageflow::Editor::FilesController#create or hangs at [paperclip] saving ...

  Check that you have used a valid s3_host_name in Pageflow's paperclip_s3_default_options setting. In particular, ensure that you are not using an s3-website. endpoint. Those are only for serving files from the bucket via HTTP - not for API access. See the AWS list of regions and enpoints for possible values.

Error Message in Pageflow Editor during Image Processing Step

Check log/jobs/development/resize.log to see why the job failed.

• Ensure that ImageMagick is installed.

Upgrading Pageflow

Missing Translations in Editor

Sometimes, after updating the pageflow gem or installing a new page type, missing translations appear inside the editor. This is caused by the i18n-js gem not picking up new translations. See the discussion in issue #100 for some background.

Solution: Remove the sprockets cache directory located at tmp/cache/assets/development/sprocket and restart your app.
