Question

I have a bucket on the Amazon S3 with the folder in it. I’m trying to access it the following way via aws-sdk gem:

s3 = AWS::S3.new(
    :access_key_id => "KEY",
    :secret_access_key => "SECRET"
)

bucket = s3.buckets["my_bucket/my_folder"]
bucket.do_stuff....

I am getting the following error in return:

The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Answer 1

probably the S3 bucket are trying to use is located outside the US-EAST (default location), so this should help you:

s3 = AWS::S3.new(
    :access_key_id => "KEY",
    :secret_access_key => "SECRET"
    :s3_endpoint => 's3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
)

Choose your S3 enpdpoint from the following list:

US Standard *                           s3.amazonaws.com(default)
US West (Oregon) Region                 s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
US West (Northern California) Region    s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
EU (Ireland) Region                     s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region         s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com
Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region             s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
South America (Sao Paulo) Region        s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com

In terms of object access, the bucket name is my_bucket, but my_folder should be a part of object.
