AWS S3: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint

I am trying to delete uploaded image files with the AWS-SDK-Core Ruby Gem.

I have the following code:

require 'aws-sdk-core'

def pull_picture(picture)
    Aws.config = {
        :access_key_id => ENV["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"],
        :secret_access_key => ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"],
        :region => 'us-west-2'
    }

    s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new

    test = s3.get_object(
        :bucket => ENV["AWS_S3_BUCKET"],
        :key => picture.image_url.split('/')[-2],   
    )
end

However, I am getting the following error:


The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.

I know the region is correct because if I change it to us-east-1, the following error shows up:


The specified key does not exist.

What am I doing wrong here?

It seems likely that this bucket was created in a different region, IE not us-west-2. That's the only time I've seen "The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint."


US Standard is us-east-1
