AWS credentials only work in base settings module about django-storages HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, this is due to the way that the settings are declared at the class level variable. This is unfortunately inherited legacy. It's a larger cleanup but basically my biggest desire from a maintenance perspective, should make testing easier.

#524 is aiming to fix this.

Is this still an issue? It's really difficult to debug this without seeing more of your settings file, and the way this is described, it's likely to not be a django-storages issue but more with something specific to how you wrote the file.

from django-storages.

The issue was basically just that I had to define the AWS variables before doing:

from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage

I worked around it but that's what was happening.

from django-storages.

Fixed in #524.
