Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 16, 20196 yr 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.
January 17, 20196 yr Have you ensured the bucket policy and ACLs are set to allow public access? A HTTP 403 is a generic "Forbidden" error.
January 17, 20196 yr friend I do not know much English, but I had the same problem, and solve it by changing the public access in the bucket

You will need to disable (or make a new bucket) the ACLs for the bucket which prevent "public" access.
January 17, 20196 yr Author 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?

Huh. This has always been the way it worked for us. I assumed it was normal. Thanks for clearing that up!
January 18, 20196 yr Just for a better understanding, what are the reasons you choose S3 storage? 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.
