For a brief moment I had S3 uploads to a bucket working. Then I followed the several posts here to make sure it is all correct and now all uploads go local. I cant see any clues in the error log.

How does one go about debugging this complex setup?

One post suggests you have to do it with mostly environment variables, but the other does not, and the admin panel seems to have all the S3 parameters necessary. I am basically confused.

I have double checked all the values for S3 in the system.
