I can create a s3 Amazon bucket, and I can create a Cloudfront distribution, but the missing thing, is that I have no idea how to set the bucket into a distribution point?
How would I get my uploaded files to a bucket to be served via Cloudfront distribution?
1 - Create your S3 bucket
2 - Create a new CloudFront distribution
3 - Inside CloudFront, click in the Origin Settings > Origin Domain Name select the appropriate S3 bucket (the drop down list will have append .amazonaws.com to your bucket name)
I think that's it.
Once you've finished creating the distribution you'll get a domain name to use for your cloudflare assets.
Good luck!
Not sure if you meant to tag this as CloudFlare. If yes, we have some tips about CloudFlare and S3 that might help relative to your CloudFlare DNS settings.

Currently I'm using Amazon S3 bucket for my website like images.example.com .Today I also built a test subdomain for development purposes and it is served in develop.example.com
Now I want to use Amazon S3 bucket like develop.images.example.com or images.develop.example.com (I don't know which of them is correct)
Is it possible according to S3 restrictions?
Because Amazon says: You must have same bucket name with your subdomain. So I was create a bucket like images.example.com
and my cname record is: images.example.com.s3-website.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
My webserver is Apache and runs on Ubuntu
How can reach to my images on my development subdomain?
Should I create a new cname record?
Should I do something on my virtual host file?
or what?
To share static content from develop.images.example.com:
Create an Amazon S3 bucket called develop.images.example.com
Turn on static website hosting
Create a Route 53 A record for develop.images.example.com with Alias=YES and point it to your S3 bucket
This is the same process as you would have followed for images.example.com.
I have S3 bucket called "mybucket". Files from there are available under following links:
mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/file.jpg
s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/path/to/file.jpg
I need custom domain for files served from s3. I added DNS CNAME record pointing to from images.example.com to s3.amazonaws.com (also tried images.example.com -> mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com).
In both cases when I try to GET images.example.com/mybucket/path/to/file/jpg (or images.example.com/path/to/file.jpg) I get S3 error like
Bucket 'images.example.com' does not exist
Is there any workaround for this or I have to change bucket name to images.example.com?
You need to change the bucket name. The virtual hosting docs specifically say (in the "Customizing Amazon S3 URLs with CNAMEs" section)
The bucket name must be the same as the CNAME
I'm currently attempting to use Amazon S3 for static hosting for a domain with the word bucket in the URL. One of the requirements for static hosting is that the bucket is named after the domain, so I had success setting up bucketdomain.com (not the actual domain) but unfortunatley I am unable to setup www.bucketdomain.com as S3 returns the following error when creating the S3 bucket:
The requested bucket name is not available. The bucket namespace is
shared by all users of the system. Please select a different name and
try again.
Does anyone know a way round this issue?
S3 buckets are a global namespace, and so it's very possible that someone else took the same bucket before you could get it. It's also possible that due to internal replication delays or other such issues, a previously-deleted bucket is not yet available for re-use.
It appears the bucket name you are using is not unique enough.
Is it possible to do that? I need to be able to access mydomain.com by typing in my-domain.com in the address bar of the browser?
Now I added a DNS entry:
my-domain.com CNAME mydomain.com
But this doesn't seem to work. I get an 404 not found error.
You can only map a single domain to your S3 bucket. However you could use Cloudfront to do this.
See my answer to another similar question for more information.
We had the same issue and basically I set our CI to publish to two S3 buckets on release. Not ideal but keeps you clear from resetting caches in CloudFront on publish for the short term.
I am using amazon S3 to host one of my static sites and wanted to link it to my domain name (domainname.co.uk). So I went into namecheap account-all host records and did something like this,
However, It still doesnt work and throws 404 when I go the website url. By the way, under the "www" option, I am using my S3 url like this, conxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com..
Notice the dot in the end, which is automatically added by Namecheap whenever I try to save, even without the dot. I am not sure if that's causing the issue but it just doesn't work for me.
Going directly to my AWS URL works fine, which implies that something is wrong with my CNAME setup.
Anyone know what am doing wrong here? Namecheap support had absolutely no clue either.
You can only use custom CNAMEs for Amazon S3 if the bucket name matches the CNAME.
For example, if your bucket is named:
files.example.com
and is therefore accessible by default at:
files.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
A CNAME from files.example.com to the full bucket domain name will allow you to use your custom domain.
However, if your bucket name is not exactly the same as the CNAME you are trying to define, it will not work. In your screenshot, you are trying to use www.... as your CNAME, but the (redacted) bucket name does not contain www.. Note that "exactly" includes case-sensitivity; your bucket name must be all lowercase for a CNAME to work.
The full documentation of this feature is here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/VirtualHosting.html#VirtualHostingCustomURLs
If you want/need multiple CNAMEs, and/or a CNAME that does not match the bucket name, Amazon CloudFront allows you to specify arbitrary CNAMEs for a deployment.
Its been a while since this questions was asked , but if anyone looking for NameCheap CNAME setup for static website in amazon AWS s3 bucket then please refer screenshot below.
This setup for AWS S3 bucket hosting + NameCheap DNS record is working for me as of Jul 2019.
This setup is for pointing AWS S3 static website endpoint to your custom domain in NameCheap.
Please note if you are using AWS CloudFront SSL certificate then your CNAME record value will be the CloudFront domain name ( not the static website endpoint).
