I was following a tutorial by digital ocean on linking spaces with my django project,

I am currently getting this error:

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (InvalidArgument) when calling the PutObject operation: Unknown

My settings for spaces look like this:

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/howto/static-files/

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'XXX' 
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'XXXXXXX'

AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'lrev'
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL = 'https://fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com'
# I enabled the CDN, so you get a custom domain. Use the end point in the AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN setting. 
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = 'lrev.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
    'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}

AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = 'x-amz-acl'

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.StaticStorage'
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.MediaStorage'

# Use AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL here if you haven't enabled the CDN and got a custom domain. 
STATIC_URL = '{}/{}/'.format(AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, 'static')
STATIC_ROOT = 'static/'

MEDIA_URL = '{}/{}/'.format(AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, 'media')
MEDIA_ROOT = 'media/'

and custom_storages looks like this:

from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage

class StaticStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
	bucket_name = 'lrev'
	location = 'static'

class MediaStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
	bucket_name = 'lrev'
	location = 'media'

Any help would be appriciated!

Hi there,

I believe that the problem might be the following:

AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = 'lrev.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com'

I think that lrev.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com is not a valid endpoint.

I would recommend using the following:

...
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/static-files/

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'your-spaces-access-key'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'your-spaces-secret-access-key'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'your-storage-bucket-name'
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL = 'https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
    'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}
AWS_LOCATION = 'your-spaces-files-folder'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'mysite/static'),
]
STATIC_URL = 'https://%s/%s/' % (AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL, AWS_LOCATION)
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
