bridges101 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm desperate for some help. For the life of me, I can't get Amazon s3 to connect with my site. I get error 403. I looked it up and the error has to do with the access key. I copied and pasted the keys so I don't know what is going. I watched the video from the guides, that is tuff to follow since Amazon seems to have changed things around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron M Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Have you ensured the bucket policy and ACLs are set to allow public access? A HTTP 403 is a generic "Forbidden" error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rony Rodriguez Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 friend I do not know much English, but I had the same problem, and solve it by changing the public access in the bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to disable (or make a new bucket) the ACLs for the bucket which prevent "public" access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridges101 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thank you I will adjust the bucket. What happens if I decide not to use s3? Does the system move files back when I change the settings in Invision or is there a option in s3 to download all files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's not, but there is a bug in the current version that can cause some files to not work properly while the move is in progress, that has been fixed in 4.4.

Huh. This has always been the way it worked for us. I assumed it was normal. Thanks for clearing that up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover13 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just for a better understanding, what are the reasons you choose S3 storage? Cost savings over web hosting storage? Better reliability/redundancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost savings over web hosting storage? Better reliability/redundancy? Reliability, CloudFront for CDN, backups if necessary. The cost is better (at current) than adding another server just for disk space. Edge loading is also quite nice, or so our overseas users tell us.
