I'm having some trouble with AWS Bucket policies, I followed the instruction and it doesn't let me set the policy, so I can't get my domain to work with the buckets.
Here is a picture. The tutorial told me to replace example.com with my bucket name.
I've been trying to set up my buckets with my domain for over a month now and I just can't seem to get it going. I already purchased my domain, and it's the exact domain name I want, so I don't want to be forced to go to Bluehost with a new domain.
It is quite simple:
- Your bucket is called
www.justdiditonline.com
- Your bucket policy is attempting to create a rule for a bucket named
justdiditonline.com
- The bucket names do not match
Solution: Use a policy with the correct bucket name:
{
"Id": "Policy1",
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::www.justdiditonline.com/*",
"Principal": "*"
}
]
}
I notice you have another bucket called justdiditonline.com
. Your existing policy would work on that bucket.
The Setting Up a Static Website Using a Custom Domain instructions detail what to do, and they work fine with an external DNS service using a CNAME
to point to the static website URL. The main steps are:
- Create a bucket with the domain name
www.justdiditonline.com
- Add a bucket policy to make content public, or make sure the individual objects you want to serve are publicly readable
- Activate Static Website Hosting on the bucket, which will return a URL like:
www.justdiditonline.com.s3.amazonaws.com
- Create a DNS entry for
www.justdiditonline.com
with a CNAME
pointing to the Static Website Hosting URL
