Question

I’m building a rails3 app on heroku, and I’m using aws-s3 gem to manipulate files stored in an Amazon S3 eu bucket.

When I try to perform a AWS::S3::S3Object.delete filename, ‘mybucketname’ command, I get the following error:

AWS::S3::PermanentRedirect (The bucket you are attempting to access
must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future
requests to this endpoint.):

I have added the following to my application.rb file:

 AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(  
   :access_key_id     => "myAccessKey",  
   :secret_access_key => "mySecretAccessKey" 
 )

and the following code to my controller:

def destroy
song = tape.songs.find(params[:id])

AWS::S3::S3Object.delete song.filename, 'mybucket'

song.destroy


respond_to do |format|  
    format.js   { render :nothing => true } 
  end     end

I found a proposed solution somewhere to add AWS_CALLING_FORMAT: SUBDOMAIN to my amazon_s3.yml file, as supposedly, aws-s3 should handle differently eu buckets than us.
However, this did not work, same error is received.

Could you please provide any assistance?
Thank you very much for your help.

Answer 1

the problem is you need to type SUBDOMAIN as uppercase string in config, try this out
