Amazon S3 and Cloudfront Not Uploading to Amazon

It’s not uploading for me either. I’ve been through all of these steps…

I’ve worked with Amazon S3/Clooudfront before and it’s always been solid – for whatever reason with WordPress it seems to be next to impossible.

Any help or feedback on this would be helpful. I’ve been through every step – the new AWS user, the new security policy, removing from config and adding to web form, deactivating other plugins, etc.

No go.

Anyone have any ideas?

MuchmoreGaming: In your permissions policy for your IAM user, be sure you put in the name of your S3 bucket. In the one given in the tutorial link, there are 2 places where it says “celingest-cdn”, which is the name of the bucket in the example–put your bucket name in there. That might seem obvious, but at first I didn’t even see those. I just copied & pasted.

If you know how to do it, you might go through and see if there are any orphaned tables in your database that are causing it. I think that’s what my problem was. I had installed the S2Member, then deleted it. It left some options tables in the database. It was after I deleted those that it started working for me again.

And in the S3 and Cloudfront settings page, be sure where it says domain name, you’ve got your cloudfront name (XXXX.cloudfront.net) or cname. At first I just saw “domain name” and put my actual domain name in instead of my cloudfront domain name.

Hi any news about this error message

“Error retrieving a list of your S3 buckets from AWS: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.”

I had changed my computer clock but it doesnt work either.

thank

well, it’s not working again for me. I just checked my log, and I have the same error as before. I don’t get it. I haven’t added any plugins.

I’m having the same issues. “Error retrieving a list of your S3 buckets” I had to remove the plugin since it was making it impossible to work in my site.

Also, I was getting an http error almost every time I tried to upload any media, at the beginning I was blaming it to wordpress, but since I removed the plugin the errors are gone

If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

This month old topic references an old version of WordPress.

I am still trying to resolve this and I’ve done everything I can think of to troubleshoot. The odd thing is, it’ll transfer an image occasionally, and I can try again right after an image is successfully transferred, and it won’t. Sometimes if I deactivate both plugins and reactivate them, it’ll work once, but then not if I try uploading another image. I’ve tried with plugins off, and it doesn’t matter. I’ve set up a test blog with a new database, fresh wordpress install and no plugins except these two active, and it won’t upload. My amazon credentials are correct.

I always have the same error in my error log: [curl] 6: Couldn’t resolve host.

Does anyone have other ideas of what the problem might be or what I should try? I’ve googled my error message, but can’t really find anything helpful.

@tracibunkers: Please post your own topic.

esmi–I’ve been participating in this topic since it was first posted . . . so I’m confused why I can’t continue posting in it since I’m still trying to resolve it. It seems starting a new topic with the exact same information would clog up the forum?

These forums have guidelines. Please read them. As you will see, one of these guidelines – entitled Where to Post – specifically states:

Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.

Please abide by this.

Okay, sorry. Several of us were having the same problem and we had the same version of WP, but I doubt we had the same plugins, themes, or were on the same server with the same web host. It seems that could cause a lot of threads to be posted with the same issue/questions, but I’m happy to follow the rules. I’ll start my own topic, and copy & paste my info into it.

Thank you. ??

It’s a little confusing because in the area to start a new topic, it says “Before posting a new topic, be sure to search to see if one has been started already.”

So that makes it sound like you shouldn’t start a new one if there’s already one going with the same issue/question.

It means “See if you can find a solution in an existing topic” rather than “Post in an existing topic”. But – yes – I appreciate that it is ambiguous. Unfortunately, that’s not a piece of text that we can change easily. ??

Hi

I’m seeing a similar problem, and have now started a separate thread on this here.
