I set the bucket according to the manual. Then I typed in the console but I can’t move the images. Why this bug ?
i put (app:/var/www/discourse# : )
```
DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET=new-bucket \
DISCOURSE_S3_REGION=EU_Frankfurt \
DISCOURSE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=dsadadassdadaIdsadY4 \
DISCOURSE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xyss1dsMtdsakcmjxBVsg1xsadaX \
rake uploads:migrate_to_s3
```

whether it’s a bug or maybe I misspelled something ?

Try `eu-central-1` — see [AWS service endpoints - AWS General Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html) for a list of regions.

Unfortunately, it’s still a problem.

reading other threads and trying to get to the problem I noticed that I have only such settings in the file. There shouldn’t be any data for S3 ?
my discourse.conf:
```plaintext
> hostname = 'dasda'
> smtp_user_name = 'dadsafa'
> smtp_address = 'fasfaf'
> db_socket = '/var/run/postgresql'
> developer_emails = 'dasda@zyz.com'
> smtp_port = '587'
> smtp_password = 'zxc'
> db_host = ''
> db_port = ''
> force_https = 'true'
```

I set the app.yml data to s3 so that now `GlobalSetting.use_s3?` returns true
but I still can’t move the files to s3.
