Thank you John. That got me to an error message I could sort through. For posterity, here's the pieces I picked up here and there to make community_engine, paperclip, and S3 all work together: do not include aws-sdk gem include aws-s3 like: gem 'aws-s3', :require => "aws/s3"
In config/application_config.rb, tell paperclip where to find the s3 creds: :feature => { :use_thumbs => true, :dimensions => [150, 635], :paperclip_options => { :storage => 's3', # point paperclip to s3 credentials :s3_credentials => Rails.root.join('config', 's3.yml'), :styles => { :original => '465>', :thumb => "45x45#", :large => "635x150#" } }, :validation_options => { :max_size => 3, :content_type => ['image/jpg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png', 'image/x-png'] } }, Then in config/s3.yml, update :bucket_name to :bucket for newer version.
