Your path is wrong in development.rb. Should be /usr/ not /user/. – Adila

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and i figured out that I was using Paperclip 2.5 and paperclip internally uses cocaine gem. Cocaine 0.4.2 is not backward compatible so I downgraded cocaine to 0.3.2 and it all worked magically. In you Gemfile, just write

gem 'cocaine', '0.3.2'

and run

bundle update

yes, there is an issue with mismatching versions of cocaine and paperclip github.com/thoughtbot/cocaine/issues/28 – Distinct

As of January 2, 2014, Paperclip 3.5.2 requires cocaine ~> 0.5.3. – Mcnully

Answer 2

A note to myself and any other person who gets here by googling the error type: Imagemagick will throw this error if it doesn't recognize the file type.

I was getting this error when users were trying to upload images. I kept not being able to reproduce the problem, and it was definitely not a question of uninstalled dependencies. Turns out they were trying to upload an unrecognized mime type -- camera raw images.

Similar - after upgrading through several versions of everything was getting the error on our test suite, related to an old image used in the tests. Swapped for a newer one and all ok – Nolie
