Invoice ninja server 500 internal error

[AartJansen]

so the end result is pdf generation & emails (with PDFs) now work without the added PDF_GENERATOR line ?

@AartJansen correct!

Interestingly I just ran across this issue. I was able to fix it by simply adding in the following: PDF_GENERATOR=snappdf

Odd though as I see others didn't get that working and needed a value of hosted_ninja instead of snappdf. So YMMV as they say.

@d19dotca take a look at this thread as the env has some major changes, simply adding those lines brings an existing app up to par with a fresh install https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/13069/not-creating-pdfs-after-updates/25

Look for Girish’s latest post in there

[d19dotca]

Yeah it makes me concerned that the package updates got messed up somewhere along the way to have duplicated some content in the ENV and remove others, but at least it’s an easy fix (manually).

Hi, I have the same problem and it is not solved after the updates.

Check the screenshots:

The question is how do I give permissions? I don't have a way to edit by commands, right?

@Esteban88 kernel.php not being writable is fine. On Cloudron, app code is readonly. This is for security. Per your screenshot, your PDF settings seem OK. You are unable to generate PDFs?

[Esteban88]

Hi @joseph, it does not generate the PDF, I show you the error.

@Esteban88 see this thread - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/13069/not-creating-pdfs-after-updates/18 . Can you check the env variables and respond in that thread if it doesn't work?

[Esteban88]

Thanks! I had the pdf generator disabled.

I changed the line:

phantomjs_pdf_generation:false
to
phantomjs_pdf_generation:true

[AartJansen]

Just to FYI, when I used phantomjs the pdfs would preview in app, and send email, but the receiver would not be able to view the pdf.
I had to use

PDF_GENERATOR=snappdf
SNAPPDF_CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

to get proper functionality back.
