Getting a Broken Pipe while uploading an mp3 with paperclip - ruby-on-rails

Keep getting a broken pipe after uploading a mp3 with paperclip to S3. What did i do wrong?
Model
has_attached_file :mp3,
:storage => :s3,
:path => 'mp3/:class/:id/:style.:extension',
:s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/s3.yml",
:bucket => 'cobras-production',
:url => ':s3_domain_url'
Controller
def create
#track = Track.new(params[:track])
if #track.save
redirect_to(#track, :notice => 'Track was successfully created.')
else
render :action => "new"
end
end

I think there may be an issue with non us bucket locations.
I have 2 applications set up to run on heroku, and was running into the issue you mention. When i changed my bucket location to US the paperclip lib worked perfectly with exact same file.
Where you using singapore or tokyo as your bucket locaiton.
https://github.com/marcel/aws-s3/issues/#issue/4
this explains the issue better

In my case it was because I chose a new (as of now) AWS region 'Oregon'.
When I switched back to US Standard for my bucket, I had no problems.

It might be worth pointing out that buckets are not created automatically on-demand - you have to create them yourself. If you're using the aws-s3 gem, the command for that is
AWS::S3::Bucket.create("cobras-production")

For future googlers: I had the same issue, the reason was in wrong time on my computer, which was included in request. Amazon's server compared my time and their, which caused an error.

images uploaded to aws, but can't be viewed in the view

I have just integrated AWS with my rails/heroku app and I am using paperclip. I am able to upload files (photo's) and see them in AWS, however they are not showing up in the view. I am not getting any errors, and have not found a working solution in other posts.
It seems I am able to view the image in a browser, and that permissions are set to public:
I suspect that I may have my region wrong, in the url of my aws dashboard the region says region=us-west-2 yet googling and reading through other forums and posts on SO leads me to believe that if I am in the US my region should be set to us-east-1 - currently I have it set to the latter. Not sure if this is the problem.
Here is a link to the image on AWS:https://s3.amazonaws.com/giving-tree-images/avatars/1/medium/02108_navajoland_1440x900.jpg
here is the code pertaining to aws/paperclip in my model:
:storage => :s3,
# :s3_host_name => "s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'],
:access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
},
:path => ":rails_root/public/system/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename",
:default_url => "default_img.png"
and I am displaying in the view like this:
<%= image_tag #user.avatar.url(:medium) %>
I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction... Any additional info needed, please let me know!
I also faced the same issue, so this is how I solved it:
Create a new initializer file i.e. config/initializers/paperclip.rb
Add following in this file
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:url] = ':s3_domain_url'
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:s3_host_name] = 's3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
To get details about your region, go to aws
Amazon Web Service - Check your host name
Note : Replace s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com with your own host name
Reference : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/paperclip-s3
Have you enable the read permission to everyone?
It gave me access-denied error when accessed to the link.

Paperclip not showing image even though URL/images in correct places

Using Paperclip to attach avatars to User profiles for my rails application. I followed the instructions on the paperclip github to initialize and attach to my app.
I have an image in the public/images/medium/missing.png and for both cases (when I upload or when I fallback on the default) I get no image. I've checked my directory and there is an image where it says it is looking but does not grab it. Additionally when I have tried uploading images, I know the image is uploaded correctly because when calling the User in rails console shows all the information properly attached.
I am calling the image in my view like:
<%= image_tag(#blog.user.avatar.url(":medium"), :class => "image-circle avatar") %>
my Paperclip declaration in the User model looks like the following:
has_attached_file :avatar, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100#"}, :default_url => "/public/images/:style/missing.png"
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
Really not sure what is going on. The route errors that appear when I inspect the improperly loaded image point directly to the image in my local server. And the fact that it can't grab either the missing or the uploaded file also has me at a loss. Any help would be super appreciated!!
And for good measure the output when I examine a user with an uploaded avatar:
avatar_file_name: "11390219_10206114805925816_6595348111261743639_n.j...", avatar_content_type: "image/jpeg", avatar_file_size: 101926, avatar_updated_at: "2015-07-10 18:51:44">
Thanks in advance!
EDIT
This is the URL that is providing the 404 error:
http://localhost:3000/images/medium/missing.png
while in my local directory it goes "root/public/images/medium/missing.png"
not sure how its not grabbing it, unless I am just missing something really obvious somewhere. (i tried hard routing the public in there as well, but to no avail).
EDIT
There is the possibility that you're simply not serving the static assets, add:
config.serve_static_assets = true
to your development.rb
ORIGINAL POST
In you application.rb ( or an environment specific file ), you should have a config.paperclip_defaults = { ... }, here is the link in the docs: https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip#defaults
Here is an example one, using fog:
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :fog,
:fog_credentials => {
:provider => "Local",
:local_root => "#{Rails.root}/public"
},
:fog_directory => "",
:fog_host => "localhost:3000"
}
Do you have something like that in your application? I just tested on an app of mine, and I was able to upload an image, but not to see any without the paperclip_defaults hash. Also, don't forget to restart your app after you update the config files. I hope this helps!
Have you tried killing the quotes around the image style? Around :medium?
<%= image_tag(#blog.user.avatar.url(:medium), :class => "image-circle avatar") %>
As show here in the Paperclip Docs:
https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip#show-view
Same problem, solved it by reinstalling imagemagic with brew
Details: In case you're imagemagic, try to update the imagemagic and if it asks you to link it,
Try with this:
brew link --overwrite imagemagick
It worked for me. Hope its helpful

Paperclip is not generating url properly for CNAME

I'm tying to get a cloudfront distribution wired up with a custom domain to paperclip but it's not generating my url properly. Here is my configuration:
# initializers/paperclip_defaults.rb
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.merge!({
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{Rails.root}/config/amazon_s3.yml",
:bucket => "my-image-bucket",
:path => "production/attachments/:attachment/:id/:style/:basename.:extension",
:url => ":s3_host_alias",
:s3_headers => {'Cache-Control' => 'max-age=2147483648'},
:s3_protocol => :https,
:s3_host_alias => "cdn.mydomain.com",
})
According to the docs and every blog post I've read this should be correct. The problem is that it winds up generating this:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-image-bucket/production/products/images/44/original/my-image.jpg
The only way I've gotten it to use the CNAME is by specifying s3_host_name which according to the documentation is only used for the Tokyo region. And this also breaks uploads. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Paperclip 3.5.2.
UPDATE
I'm debugging inside attachment.rb#url and here's what I'm seeing. Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:url] returns cdn.mydomain.com which is correct. However, #options[:url] is returning :s3_path_url instead of s3_host_alias. For some reason that default option is not being merged in properly. However the s3_host_alias option is since #options[:s3_host_alias] is returning cdn.mydomain.com as expected.
So it turns out that :s3_alias_url is the correct token to use for the url and not :s3_host_alias. Not sure where that's documented though. Had to look at s3.rb to figure it out.

Alternative to X-Sendfile on Heroku?

I have plans this summer to build an E-commerce app for digital downloads and I usually deploy on Heroku. However, Heroku doesn't support X-Sendfile.
So, what's the alternative?
I've been searching for gems and was thinking this might be a good replacement: https://github.com/marcel/aws-s3 -- but, I'm not sure it's being actively maintained.
You should keep your assets on a CDN like S3/Cloudfront. Then just redirect requests to it as necessary.
I would also use paperclip to manage the file. It could look something like ...
class AssetController < ApplicationController
def show
#asset = Asset.find(params[:id])
redirect_to URI.encode #asset.file.url
end
end
class Asset
has_attached_file :file,
:path => YOUR_PATH,
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => S3_CONFIG,
:bucket => BUCKET_NAME
end
That should get your started. Hope this helps

Amazon S3 only accepting files with no spaces, no numbers in the title?

This is an odd question, but only commensurate with the strange behavior I'm seeing. My app is Rails 3/Paperclip/S3.
Symptoms:
All images are uploading regardless of their title.
When uploading a .pdf or .doc, if the title has no spaces like my_doc.pdf, it uploads fine.
When uploading a .pdf or .doc with spaces, such as My Doc.pdf, it fails, either with error broken pipe or by the file silently failing to upload to S3.
When uploading a .pdf or .doc with numbers, such as mydoc20.pdf, it also fails as above.
I imagine there are two possible solutions to this problem.
Fix the broken pipe error directly (preferred method).
Automatically rename every uploaded file to remove spaces and numbers before it is saved to S3 - while not fixing it at the source, I imagine this would allay the issue.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me in fixing 1 and/or 2.
Code
# Upload.rb model
class Upload < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :document,
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{::Rails.root.to_s}/config/s3.yml",
:path => "/docs/:style/:id/:basename.:extension"
has_attached_file :photo,
:styles => {:medium => "200x300>", :thumb => "100x150>" },
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{::Rails.root.to_s}/config/s3.yml",
:path => "/photos/:style/:id/:basename.:extension"
# s3.yml
development:
bucket: dev_bucket_name
access_key_id: dev_acc_key
secret_access_key: dev_sec_key
production:
bucket: my_production_bucket
access_key_id: my_access_key_id
secret_access_key: my_secret_key
# environment.rb is empty with regard to uploading.
# uploads_controller.rb
def edit
#candidate = Candidate.find(current_user.user_type_id)
render :layout => 'forms'
end
def update
#candidate = Candidate.find(params[:id])
if #candidate.update_attributes(params[:candidate])
flash[:notice] = "Profile updated successfully."
redirect_to :action => "show", :id => params[:id]
else
flash[:notice] = "There was an error updating your profile."
render :action => "edit", :id => params[:id]
end
end
I don't believe there are any methods involved. I almost hope there is something obviously wrong with my approach because that means it'll get fixed :).
For part two this should do it:
#s = "Really Important!*() Document version#123123.newest.pdf"
#s.gsub!(' ','_').downcase! #this will make everything lowercase and replace all spaces with underscores
#s.gsub!(/[^a-zA-Z._]+/,'') #this will remove all numbers and special characters except . and _
puts #s #prints "really_important_document_version.newest.pdf"
Edit: After some more research into paperclip I found the following: http://blog.wyeworks.com/2009/7/13/paperclip-file-rename
Check that link out, I believe it is what you are looking for.
Edit 2: In my initial read of your post I missed the part about pulling out numbers as well, I have modified the regulat expression code to account for that.
