I do have a recovery.conf setup and it looks correct. It is included below.
Postgres has access to read the file as well.

standby_mode = 'on' # enables stand-by (readonly) mode

# Connect to the master postgres server using the replicator user we
created.
primary_conninfo = 'host=<host> port=<port> user=<user> password=<password>'

# Specifies a trigger file whose presence should cause streaming
replication to
# end (i.e., failover).
trigger_file = '/tmp/pg_failover_trigger'

# Shell command to execute an archived segment of WAL file series.
# Required for archive recovery if streaming replication falls behind too
far.
restore_command = '/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e
wal-fetch "%f" "%p"'
archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup
/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/archive/ %r'
