updated config file

config.paperclip_defaults = {
  :storage => :s3,
     :s3_region => ENV['AWS_REGION'],
     :s3_credentials => {
     :bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'],
     :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
     :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  }
}

Use s3_region, so your config looks like this:

config.paperclip_defaults = {
  :storage => :s3,
  :region => ENV['AWS_REGION'],
  :s3_region => ENV['AWS_REGION'],
  :s3_credentials => {
    :bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'],
    :access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
    :secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  }
}

I think the :region => ENV['AWS_REGION'], is not necessary.
