I'm having the problem when i am using amazon s3 services

the error is

Excon::Errors::SocketError in PhotosController#create 
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)}

This error occur when i try to save the image.

config/initializers/carrierwave.rb

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
config.fog_credentials = {
:provider               => 'AWS',                        
:aws_access_key_id      => 'XXXXX',                        
:aws_secret_access_key  => 'YYYYY',                        
:region                 => 'us-east-1',                  
:host                   => 's3.example.com',             
:endpoint               => 'https://s3.example.com:8080'

}

config.fog_directory  = 'My_bucket_name'                       
config.fog_public     = false                            
config.fog_attributes = {'Cache-Control'=>"max-age=#{365.day.to_i}"}

end

i am using figaro.gem

config/application.yml

SECRET_KEY_BASE: aaaaaa 
AWS_ACCES_KEY_ID: XXXXXX
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: YYYYYY
AWS_BUCKET: "My_bucket_name"

Gemfile

gem 'rails', '4.1.4'
gem 'mysql2'
gem 'carrierwave'
gem 'fog'
gem 'aws-sdk'
gem "figaro"

app/uploaders/picture_uploader.rb

class PictureUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base

storage :fog


def store_dir
'uploads/data'
end


end

i followed this site http://blog.thefirehoseproject.com/posts/switching-carrierwave-to-use-s3-with-heroku-and-localhost/ and didn't made any changes other configurations.

i have deployed my application to heroku. i want to upload images/videos to that application. can anyone help or suggest me to how to upload images/videos to heroku with using carrierwave.

Thanks advance

You shouldn't be setting that host or endpoint option ( you'd only use those if you were using a custom file storage service that speaks the S3 protocol, e.g. eucalyptus walrus)
