Hi All,

Recently the CreatePDF plugin is now giving the following error on two different sites using the same plugin and setup.

Site 1:

sh: /home/XXXXXX/public_html/cmsb/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64: Permission denied
Error executing wkhtmltopdf! (Exit code: 126)

Site 2:

/home/XXXXXX/public_html/cmsb/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-0.12.5-1.centos6.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error executing wkhtmltopdf! (Exit code: 127)

I'm not sure if it's an ini issue on the server, a server update that caused this, or if the plugin requires an update.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi Dan, 

The first thing I'd try is logging in with FTP and checking the permissions on this file: 

/public_html/cmsb/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-0.12.5-1.centos7.x86_64

Try setting the file permissions to 0755.  It needs read and execute set to it can be run.

Let me know if that works.

That did the trick.  Strange how it was working until recently, not sure how the permissions were changed.
