  • 0

In my app an user has the ability to upload their logo to display on their profile page (using Carrierwave + s3).

On my local app the image path is this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/iemarkt/uploads/user/logo/squaredeye_336x336.jpg

But on my Heroku deployed app the image path is “/assets/”, which is causing an error and not letting the user upload the image.

Whenever I try to upload a file with Carrierwave + s3 on my Heroku app I get this error “We’re sorry, but something went wrong.”, looking into my log I see this error:

    2012-08-20T21:18:56+00:00 app[web.1]: Started GET "/assets/" for 24.90.124.181 at 2012-08-20 21:18:56 +00002012-08-20T21:18:56+00:00 app[web.1]:2012-08-20T21:18:56+00:00 app[web.1]: ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/assets"):

My store_dir

    "uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/"

I unccomented this line in my production.rb (I read that Heroku uses Nginx, I dont know if there’s something else I need to do to get Nginx to work.)

  config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect'

I really don’t know why the path doesn’t lead to my s3 account.

Here’s my app

    I just tried to deploy your app and it works fine, see my user has an image uploaded

    http://young-reaches-9187.herokuapp.com/deals/1

    The only thing I changed was in the carrier wave settings, the region name was wrong:
    you were trying to use the region

    'eu-east-1'
    which doesn’t exists, so I changed it to :
    'us-east-1'

    The full list of regions is available here : http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html

    By the way you SHOULD NOT write your AWS credentials in your app. For instance I just uploaded to your bucket, but I could have detroyed your files.
    You should use environment variables.

    You should also add you database.yml in your .gitignore.
