bucket u are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint

I granted the user account configured by the plug-in full access to S3 and selected the “Create a new bucket…” option in the S3 Settings drop down.

A new bucket was successfully created in the “US Standard” region and the plugin is able to upload content to the bucket successfully.

I changed the S3 bucket back to one I had created earlier in the Sydney region, and media uploads are not copied to the Sydney bucket.

The error logged by PHP is:
[17-Oct-2013 21:11:16 UTC] Error uploading C:\wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Tulips.jpg to S3: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint: "bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com".

It looks like only buckets in the US Standard region are supported.

Unfortunately I am running a site in the Sydney region targeted at users in Australia.

I’ve changed the line in plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/classes/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront.php as the below code:

[original]

elseif ( is_ssl() || $this->get_setting( ‘force-ssl’ ) ) {
$domain_bucket = ‘s3.amazonaws.com/’ . $s3object[‘bucket’];
}

[edited]

elseif ( is_ssl() || $this->get_setting( ‘force-ssl’ ) ) {
$domain_bucket = $s3object[‘bucket’] . ‘.s3.amazonaws.com’;
}

Beware to remove the extra ‘/’ URI and that it only happens with SSL mode enabled.

Did that work for uploads? I had to do a change like this instead:

function get_s3client() {
if ( is_null( $this->s3client ) ) {
$this->s3client = $this->aws->get_client()->get( ‘s3’ );
$this->s3client->setRegion(‘eu-west-1’);
}

return $this->s3client;
}

This sets the region in the s3-client. Weird thing is I only had to do it for one bucket, even tho both were in Ireland.
