Question

I’m trying to use Paperclip gem and store the documents on Amazon S3.

In my gemfile, I have:

gem 'paperclip'
gem 'aws-s3'

In my model, I have (with the correct bucket and keys):

  has_attached_file :attach,
  :storage => :s3,
  :bucket => ENV['mybucket'],
  :s3_credentials => {
    :access_key_id => ENV['mykey'],
    :secret_access_key => ENV['mysecretkey']
  }

But, I get the following error:

Missing credentials

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check if your ENV['mykey'] and ENV['mysecretkey'] environment variables are actually defined.
