Answer 1

<Error><Code>PermanentRedirect</Code><Message>The bucket you are attempting to access
must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to 
this endpoint.</Message></Error>

This is a frequently encountered issue: You are trying to access a bucket in region us-west-1, however, for legacy reasons the default Amazon S3 region in most/all AWS SDKs is US Standard, which automatically routes requests to facilities in Northern Virginia or the Pacific Northwest using network maps (see Regions and Endpoints for details).

Therefore you simply need to specify the endpoint of your buckets region explicitly before using the S3 API, e.g. for us-west-1:

  config.fog_credentials = {
    :provider               => 'AWS',
    :aws_access_key_id      => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
    :aws_secret_access_key  => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
    :region                 => 'us-west-1'
    :endpoint               => 'https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/'
  }

Thanks again to Steffen Opel!

But some consideration I haven't made, my region is US Standard, therefore, my carrierwave initializer looks like this: # :region => # NOT NEEDED BY US STANDARD :endpoint => 'https://s3.amazonaws.com'
