Does not recognise the bucket name

I am using django-s3-storage==0.11.2 and boto3==1.4.4. These are in the settings.py:

	STATIC_URL = '/static/'
	STATICFILES_DIRS = [
	    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
	]
	STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_cdn')
	MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
	MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media_cdn')

	AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME = "my-bucket-name"
	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'test_id_x'
	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'test_id_x+test_id_x'
	DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "django_s3_storage.storage.S3Storage"
	STATICFILES_STORAGE = "django_s3_storage.storage.StaticS3Storage"
	AWS_S3_ADDRESSING_STYLE = "auto"
	AWS_S3_BUCKET_AUTH_STATIC = False
	AWS_S3_MAX_AGE_SECONDS_STATIC =  60 * 60 * 24 * 365  # 1 year.
	AWS_S3_BUCKET_AUTH = False
	AWS_S3_MAX_AGE_SECONDS = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365  # 1 year.

I have also ran these command:

manage.py s3_sync_meta django.core.files.storage.default_storage

But when I run collectstatic or this command

manage.py s3_sync_meta django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.staticfiles_storage

I get this error:

botocore.exceptions.ParamValidationError: Parameter validation failed: Invalid bucket name “”: Bucket name must match the regex “^[a-zA-Z0-9.-_]{1,255}$”

I have already created the bucket, and the bucket name is correct, because this works and does not gives any error:

`s3.meta.client.head_bucket(Bucket='my-bucket-name')`

I don’t know what am I missing here? Could you help me out please.

I’m not that familiar with django-storages configuration, but the code that generates the error message is:

    if VALID_BUCKET.search(bucket) is None:
        error_msg = (
            'Invalid bucket name "%s": Bucket name must match '
            'the regex "%s"' % (bucket, VALID_BUCKET.pattern))
        raise ParamValidationError(report=error_msg)

In this case the error message say Invalid bucket name "", which means that the bucket name is empty. This is likely a configuration error with django storages.

I would suggest either reaching out to the django storages people or asking on stack overflow.

Glancing over their docs (http://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html), it looks like the bucket name is specified via AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME which I don’t see in your settings.py. Hope that helps.

If deployed on heroku in config Vars make sure AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and NOT in quotes.

Worked for me.
