Access Denied for index.html Amazon S3 static website


I've set up an example static website on Amazon S3 and I added a custom folder to it with file inside: custom-folder/index.html, but I'm getting Access Denied error when trying to access url /custom-folder.

The index document is configured to be index.html, so S3 should serve index.html when I'm accessing /custom-folder url, but it doesn't work.

How can I fix this?


Solution

  • It seems you are using the wrong URL to access the bucket. For example, when you enable to static website hosting feature in S3 (us-west-2 in this example), you are given a URL with the following format:

    Endpoint : http://bucket-name.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

    You can see your endpoint by going to S3 > Click on your bucket > Bucket Properties > Static website hosting > should reveal your endpoint.
