Excon::Errors::SocketError in PostsController#create - excon

Question

I'm setting up a photo blog with Rails and am having difficulty with this error: Excon::Errors::SocketError in PostsController#create
Connection reset by peer (Errno::ECONNRESET)
Extracted source (around line #30):
respond_to do |format|

format.html { redirect_to #post, notice: 'Post was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #post }

Here's my post model:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base

mount_uploader :image, PhotoUploader
end
Here's my post controller:

#post = Post.new

#post = Post.new(post_params)
respond_to do |format|

Answer 1

I didn't have a value for my region. I set us-west-1 first and that returned an error but changing the region to us-east-1 worked.
Thank you Geemus!
