Question

How to do routes with Amazon S3 fileserver?

I have uploaded my photographer folder to Amazon S3.

My public dictory I had the folder:

photographer

And in photographer I had the folders:

flv
images
quicktime

I have uploaded the photographer folder to Amazon S3.

How do I get Heroku to work with Amazon S3 and have the same routes as if the folder photographer was in the public directory?

Answer 1

I’m going to assume these files are static assets in which case you define an asset host as following in production.rb (and development.rb if you like):

config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://bucketname.s3.amazonaws.com/"
