I have been trying to upload a photo to my AWS bucket, but running into the error mentioned in the title. I understand that it most likely has to do with my OpenSSL certificates, but any suggested solution that I have tried has failed thus far.

I am running into this issue with ruby 2.3.1, Rails 4.1.8, aws-sdk-core 2.3.4, and carrierwave 0.11.0 on OSX Yosemite.

I have tried all available found at this similar issue as well, as others (this one being with Windows): <https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-core-ruby/issues/166#issuecomment-111603660>

Here are some of my files:

carrierwave.rb

```
CarrierWave.configure do |config|                     # required
  config.aws_credentials = {
    access_key_id:     Rails.application.secrets.aws_access_key_id, # required
    secret_access_key: Rails.application.secrets.aws_access_key,    # required
    region:            'eu-west-2'                  # optional, defaults to 'us-east-1'
  }

  config.aws_bucket = Rails.application.secrets.aws_bucket                        # required
  config.fog_attributes = { 'Cache-Control' => "max-age=#{365.day.to_i}" } # optional, defaults to {}
end

```

avatar\_uploader.rb

```
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base

  storage :aws

  def store_dir
    "uploads/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
  end
end

```

EDIT (more info):

```

Solutions tried:

* Aws.use\_bundled\_cert!
* Download cert and reference manually
* I tried using Fog instead of carrierwave-aws
* Tried reinstalling ruby after upgrading rbenv

Here's the result of
