AWS access keys are required to operate on S3
Reported by Chris Olsen | April 13th, 2008 @ 12:31 AM
When calling on the has_attached_file method and passing the s3_credentials in a hash table format the following error results.
-> AWS access keys are required to operate on S3
- error results with this
line ~46: @s3 = RightAws::S3.new(@s3_credentials["access_key_id"],
@s3_credentials["secret_access_key"],
@s3_options)
Since the hash keys are more often symbols than strings the following works:
@s3 = RightAws::S3.new(@s3_credentials[:access_key_id],
@s3_credentials[:secret_access_key],
@s3_options)
Using a hash table with the access_key_id and secret_access_key was the only way I was able to get things to work without throwing the exception mentioned earlier.
I hope that is enough info.

That's a good point. I suppose I should have it check both. My thinking here was that if you put your access keys in a YAML file (which is better for security) then they're more likely to simply be strings.

I've changed it to use symbol keys. You're right, it just makes more sense and is more common.
