Wkhtmltopdf: Cannot Connect To X Server Php

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server up xvfb-run wkhtmltopdf vote 83 down vote favorite 41 I have been using wkthmltopdf to convert html to pdf documents on-the-fly on my linux web server. The program originally needed X11 or similar X server to run correctly, but through many requests by developers to have this run on servers without GUI, I am pretty sure it runs a virtual X server in the static version. I have been using wkhtmltopdf headless the static (stand-alone) version of the program and it works great! I would put the executable file in a folder, and run: ./wkhtmltopdf file1.html file2.pdf However I would like to install this program system-wide. I used the apt-get install wkhtmltopdf (just installed yesterday) and since I am running on a 64 bit system, I also needed apt-get install ia32-libs. After installation I can find the version like this: wkhtmltopdf --version output: Name: wkhtmltopdf 0.9.9 License: Copyright (C) 2008,2009 Wkhtmltopdf Authors.

The Exit Status Code '1' Says Something Went Wrong: Stderr: "wkhtmltopdf: Cannot Connect To X Server
i use wkhtmltojpg from the command line it work but when i use it from my application it doesn't. That why i think it come from KnpSnappy. The error: The exit status code http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9604625/wkhtmltopdf-cannot-connect-to-x-server '1' says something went wrong: stderr: "wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X server " stdout: "" command: /bin/wkhtmltopdf --lowquality --encoding 'utf-8' '/tmp/knp_snappy535a8764551075.01876888.html' '/tmp/knp_snappy535a87645513f8.46100863.pdf'. wkhtmltopdf --version Name: wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1-dev Any ideas ? pilot commented Apr 25, 2014 do you use nginx with php-fpm? sanchobouillant commented Apr 25, 2014 nope, i use Apache2 pilot commented Apr 25, 2014 try latest stable release 0.12.0 put wkhtmltopdf to the web root https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy/issues/89 folder for test sanchobouillant commented Apr 28, 2014 With the 0.12.0 version it work but my pdf is malformatted (issue with wkhtmltopdf), i need to use the 0.12.1-dev version for the moment. I put wkhtmltopdf but it doesn't work, "cannot connect to X......" pilot commented Apr 28, 2014 mv wkhtmltopdf to the /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf this is sure mean that lib will be accessible from the anywhere if you on the Debian/Ubuntu family sudo apt-get install libxrender1 statefull commented Sep 18, 2014 The solution worked for me was... Install xvfb Them create an script like: xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 595x842x16" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $* Use this script to generate pdf files. pilot added the faq label Sep 19, 2014 vurcease commented Jan 3, 2015 The virtual x-server seems to be the popular answer, but it's an unsavory option. I'm using Vagrant to power a Fedora development environment, and I've scripted the yum package manager to install wkhtmltopdf. I'm running into the x-server requirement as well. I've added my voice to this bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140279) in hopes the version of wkhtmltopdf that does NOT require x-server can be added to the package.

PDF using PHP, and at the time DOMPDF seemed to be the best-of-breed package for converting HTML into PDF for the purposes of delivering PDF versions of web content.However, I noted at the time that DOMPDF's last release was in July 2007, and it still doesn't look like being updated any time soon. The fundamental problem with packages like DOMPDF is that they tend to implement their own rendering engine. The thing is, HTML and CSS are both pretty huge now - writing a rendering engine that can cope with all the different combinations is a huge task, so projects like DOMPDF end up missing out important bits of functionality.A better approach would be to use an existing rendering engine from a browser, and then build a binary around it that can take a website as input and produce a PDF as output. That way you can get results consistent with how browsers would print a page and if you pick the right engine you'll not have to keep up with any changes to HTML standards, the engine developers will do that for you.This is essentially the approachwkhtmltopdftakes: it extracts the open-sourced Webkit renderer used inside browsers like Safari and Chrome and bundles it up into a Linux CLI application which produces some pretty impressive results.I thought I'd jump right in and start by compiling it on my Debian webserver. The wkhtmltopdf site has some instructions for building it on Ubuntu, which I thought were worth a try. The basic procedure was as follows:#apt-get update #apt-get install libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools build-essential cmake #svn checkout http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wkhtmltopdf #cd wkhtmltopdf #cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr . #make #sudo make installIn my case, this installed a terrifying amount of new packages to my server, but everything went very smoothly. I was left with a binary in /usr/bin and ploughed right in!#wkhtmltopdf http://ciaranmcnulty.com /tmp/ciaranmcnulty.pdf wkhtmltopdf: cannot connect to X serverArgh. The rendering engine depends on there being a GUI running on the machine so it can do cool things like generate graphics, render fonts and so forth. A typical webserver won't be running X, but luckily there are ways around it.One such way isxvfb, or the X Virtual Frame Buffer. This is a handy bit of code that basically runs an X instance but without a lot of the overheads. You can create a temporary X buffer and run a command in it using the xvfb-run binary, the benefit of which is that the x instance gets thrown away afterwards. I installed xvfb and then invok
