rails + carrierwave + fog + S3 socket error

Question

I'm having this problem trying to use S3 services with fog and the Jquery File Upload (https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload)

The error

Excon::Errors::SocketError (getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (SocketError)): 

This occur when i try to call "save" method in the controller. I'm setting carrierwave as follow:

config/initializers/carrierwave.rb

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.fog_credentials = {
    :provider               => 'AWS', 
    :aws_access_key_id      => 'access_key_here', 
    :aws_secret_access_key  => 'secret_key_here', 
    :region                 => 'eu-east-1'
  }
  config.fog_directory  = 'folder_name_here'
  config.fog_public     = false 
  config.fog_attributes = {'Cache-Control'=>'max-age=315576000'}
  config.storage = :fog
end

and my uploader just the "config.storage :fog" and the "store_dir" Now, I have created my bucket already.

Am i missing some configuration? It doesn't even work on my dev environment.

Please any help. Thanks in advance.

Im experiencing this same issue Howeever Ive double checked my region for my bucket is Ireland so set region to eu-west-1 but get this error in log on CREATE Excon::Errors::SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)): – Churchlike

The region name is wrong. It should be 'us-east-1'

Chigetai

Thanks. Hard to get the region name right. Here's a reference: docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html – Histone

@Chigetai why is this not working with other regions? doesnt make sense? – Immersionism

@Immersionism it must be set to the region of your bucket. If your Amazon bucket is in 'us-east-1', then using 'eu-east-1' or any other won't work properly. – Chigetai

Thought 'us-standard' would work, but only 'us-east-1' does. Thanks! – Parted

Thanks for the link Arcoyle. Anybody using a server different from default one will get'ya gotcha'd because the S3 admin tools sometimes outright specify 'Ireland'. – Septarium

This is only true if the bucket is in Us Standard. In Ireland it would be correct 'eu-west-1' – Aster

yes @dioshari, it is explained in the comments above. – Chigetai

I don't understand why Amazon lists us-standard as a region when it really isn't one. – Consol
