Getting ffmpeg to work with Heroku


I attempted to install ffmpeg for my Heroku Rails app and now my app is crashing.

I added a buildpack using the following command:

heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/shunjikonishi/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg

After pushing to Heroku, I get the following error according to my logs:

2013-11-17T17:50:44.022351+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `bundle exec rails server -p 47171`

When I run heroku run rake db:migrate, I get the error:

Running `rake db:migrate` attached to terminal... up, run.9791

When I check the version of bundler I'm using (bundle show bundler), I get:

/Users/(...).rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler.rb:284: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777
/Users/(...)/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/bundler-1.3.5

How can I solve this problem?


Solution

  • You have replaced the Ruby buildpack with the FFMpeg buildpack. That doesn't work. You still need to include the Ruby buildpack to run a Rails app.

    You can do this by using ddollar's heroku buildpack-multi - https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi

    You would then add a .buildpacks file to the root directory of your project that includes both the standard Ruby buildpack and your FFMpeg buildpack.
