Rails 4, Paperclip, Amazon S3 Config Amazon Path

Question

I\'m trying to configure the endpoint which is returned from paperclip when my object is successfully uploaded to Amazon\'s S3 service. The upload and everything is working

Answer 1

If you're going to use S3, we've found that you have to include the S3 credentials in your actual model (not just the config files). Here's what we do:

Model

#Image Upload 
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = 'C:\RailsInstaller\ImageMagick'
has_attached_file :image,
        :styles => { :medium => "x300", :thumb => "x100" },
        :default_url => "****",
        :storage => :s3,
        :bucket => '****',
        :s3_credentials => S3_CREDENTIALS,
            :url => "/:image/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",
            :path => ":image/:id/:style/:basename.:extension"

config/application.rb

  # Paperclip (for Amazon) (we use EU servers)
  config.paperclip_defaults = {
    :storage => :s3,
    :s3_host_name => 's3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
  }

config/s3.yml

#Amazon AWS Config
development:
  access_key_id: **********
  secret_access_key: **************
  bucket: ****

production:
  access_key_id: ***********
  secret_access_key: ***********
  bucket: ****

Hope this helps?
