Credentials missing when uploading photos with Paperclip and Amazon s3

Question

I'm having issues uploading photos to S3 using Paperclip. The photos download to the site correctly, but trying to upload new ones gives a "Credentials Missing" message. I've tried resetting my S3 keys, tried to change access to the variable in the coding, not of which worked. I am almost certain it is the photo issue, because if I submit the form without the photo, it submits correctly (albeit with no photo).

Here is the model (one of two models, but the script is the same):

class Outfit < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :gender, :description, :user_id, :photo, :photo_file_name
  has_many :outfit_clothes, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :like_relationships, :as => :liked, :dependent => :destroy
  belongs_to :user

  validates :gender,  :presence => true
  validates :photo_file_name, :presence => true
  has_attached_file :photo,
    :storage => :s3,
    :bucket => 'cold_fusion',
    :s3_credentials => {
      :access_key_id => ENV['S3_KEY'],
      :secret_access_key => ENV['S3_SECRET']
    }
end

Here is the error report

RuntimeError in OutfitsController#create

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem in my test environment for VersionEye. The problem was actually that ENV['S3_KEY'] returned an empty string. And even with fakeS3 that was an issue. Took me 6 hours to figure that out.

Answer 2

is your bucket name 'cold_fusion' in the S3

:bucket => 'cold_fusion'

make sure that you use the correct access_key and secret_key.
