Carrierwave + s3 + fog (Excon::Errors::SocketError

Question

I'm currently getting the following error: Excon::Errors::SocketError - Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE) when uploading images bigger than about 150kb. Images under 150kb work correctly. Research indicates that others have also experienced this problem but I'm yet to find a solution.

Error message

Answer 1

For me, the solution required me to recreate the bucket in the US-Standard region. Originally, the bucket was in the Oregon region and while I wasn't specifying a region in my carrierwave settings, I could not get an upload to complete, even with very small files.

Answer 2

I'm having the same issue, i noticed that only happend when i upload big files (400kb), with a smaller (100kb) it works fine.
