[@PS-vc6ef]

There is no one better than you regarding this tutorial!!!! THE BEST!!!

[@saquib513]

Even though this video is 2 years old, this tutorial helped me. There aren't any good tutorials about this topic anywhere else. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@firstprincipleslearning]

Excellent, every step of the way included. Although I knew most of the steps, I had done something wrong with my setup, so this allowed me to validate where the issue was.

[@ZeParagon]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This deserves more than a million views! I will pay you through Patreon for this video. By the way, if anyone receives a "ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap" error, that means you forgot to configure your alternate domain name.

[@Sushobhit333]

great one. I was looking for a tutorial like this. this is complete and fully guided for a noob like me. so thanks

[@cbilbao88]

This is a great video. I was having trouble setting up SSL, but it was because i connected route 53 to s3 instead of 53 -> cloudfront -> s3. Thanks a lot! Keep it up!

[@ShubhamSharma-oq4hr]

thanks brother..used this video like a 1000 times

[@l2hetoric]

Excellent Tutorial. For anyone wondering why their site doesn't work with "www." AND without, you need to add a second alias with www in the field instead of leaving it blank.

[@NZTechArc]

in route 53?

[@kesh2032]

Great stuff man !!! One of the best I've ever seen on youtube

[@scottcriss]

Wow. Well done. I'm new to AWS and this was exactly what I was looking for.

[@jasonvillaluz603]

[@Jhonatan_Celis]

Great, thanks, it worked! Greetings from Colombia!

[@patrickknudsen8978]

class A sir. Awesome work. i normally understand a lot when reading but AWS info is a lil miss leading in some respect to how you explained it. straight and to the point and explained why. thank you for the vid.

[@rishabincloud]

This is awesome! I am new to AWS, but have a weird question, can we host dynamic website through S3?

[@mvault]

This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much, you answered lots of questions for me in this video.

[@palvih7740]

Nice video.. I followed all the steps as mentioned in the video. with endpoint my website working fine.. but after cloudfront configuration actual domain url showing access denied. I configured bucket policy as described in the video... can u please let me know where i went wrong

[@SyamKumarVoleti]

Hi Manoj, Thanks for the video. This video is a savior for many aws new comers like me.

[@vigneshmargasagayam350]

Simple way of explaining this! Hats off thx!

[@wdevon99]

Thanks a lot. It was as so easy to set up my web app after watching this video!

[@jvusa]

Excellent Information, Thanks for sharing....

[@EnlearAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jetank2016]

Hi Super excellent Video. None else has explained this so simply. Thanks.. However, can you tell me what exactly was the route 53's role here? S3 has content -> Cloud Front provides ability to map the domain name to S3 bucket , certificates and protocol policy etc. But what was route 53's exact role here? What did those DNS settings and setting up Alias do? Also, would it work if I simply set the the route 53 alias as S3 bucket ARN? I understand, we wont have the viewer policy and caching advantage?

[@MelodicModes]

Excellent presentation Manoj. Thank you.

[@jayashankaradm1942]

Hey Thanks for the wonderful videos. I am facing one issue while hosting my website. I just followed all the steps described in this video except without using the custom certificates for cloud-front, when i tried to reach my website i am getting 403 Error, But resource is accessible via S3 ARN . I am not sure what is going wrong here can you please suggest me what could be issue here.

[@dhirajgosavi8737]

Hello Manoj, Can we host multiple website in single s3 bucket? If yes please suggest how can we do? Thanks

[@MAGM84]

thank you, you've saved my life.

[@EnlearAcademy]

Glad I could help!

[@carlosvalderrama3207]

Thank you for making this video. It was really helpful!

[@EnlearAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sogggy]

Great video. I have a question my website does not have any thoughts?

[@shravanmahajan9875]

loved it bro.. Very patience voice..

[@ridmapabasara2714]

good luck guys patta

[@EnlearAcademy]

Thank you @Ridma!

[@GBOfficialVlog]

How about the configuration of database?

[@agup9724]

At 21.15 are you sure you need to create a CNAME and add that to Route53 too? Will it not work without it, given that you create an Alias record pointing to Cloudfront distribution and Cloudfront origin is your S3 bucket?

[@karikalangovindarajalu8228]

Hi Manoj Very detailed presentation. Thanks. Your presentation explains to create example.com web site. How we can handle www.example.com request in this approach?

[@uritpitstop5467]

Hye! Thanks fro your video . Really useful. I have ine question. I already have configured and my site is running. However its still not showing secured it shows not secure. How and where I need to modify .? What changes I need to make ? Please help me out thanks

[@abdamingani1297]

Good tutorial brother. but I think you're spending a lot of money when you use route53 + s3 + cloudfront because it is pay-as-you-go right? maybe if aws s3 is only used and we will put the bucket url in cloudflare using cname.

[@vandanasingh3926]

Great Job. Can you please guide me how we can add auto-scaling and load balance to our website app.

[@ashishshinde7070]

Good stuff. Very useful. Thanks Manoj.

[@joclynvillegas923]

after completing everything, are you then able to go into the s3 bucket and edit the code there? or do you have to download it onto visual studio code, edit it from there and then re-upload the new code to aws?.

[@yichizhang973]

The domain register website is not working now, do you know why?

[@OutcastUNO]

For some reason it won't load the index file unless I put "/index.html" in the URL. What could be the problem?

[@HBACPradeep]

Amazing presentation clear and up to the point with the hands-on practice session. Keep it up.

[@iamvishu591]

if possible can you upload the videos related to AWS debugging on lambda or appsync ..etc

[@rollyrodrigz5069]

Oh man, really thank you. you saved me a lot of time. I will give you some dollars. Really Thanks.

[@ketanambekar31]

Hi Manoj, your videos are very helpful. Can I ask you one query. Can we host the app on S3 which is nodejs/ react based and data coming to this app from invoking API which we have created to consume data from on premise dwh. So website content will change as per data refresh. Or do we need to go with EC2 or ECS FARGAGE?

[@jaxaotesting]

Really great material!!! it helps me to launch a website.Thanks Manoj.

[@joy5872]

Hey, I'm simply writing my url but its not open until I have to put dot (.) at the end of url

[@gotamp24]

man, you helped me a lot to connect my dots on hosting websites on S3 using Route53. I truly thank you for uploading this video :) I have a quick question if you could answer them. what if I have 3 different websites sitting on the s3 bucket but hosted on the CloudFront domains(in my case I have 3 CloudFront domains for each website). can route53 do the path routing to different CloudFront sites based on the route in the URL path? Again thank you so much :)

[@amateurwhistler]

Thanks for the tutorial. It was very helpful for me to create a static website. I followed the steps and it works for http and https, but it doesn't work if I just type the or www.. Can you please advise what needs to be configured for it to work ?

[@samihamidi6871]

@Manoj Fernando - please help, when adding new name servers on go daddy, an IP dress is required for each name servers. Where do I get that from ?

[@gshan994]

I am also getting Error: Access Denied when changing the Bucket Policy i am using an IAM user with full admin access. if i UNBlock public access (bucket settings) ...the website works but AWS warns that you should not allow public access to bucket objects and bucket. Can u pls explain SIr.

[@maankhurana5814]

[@SakshiSharma-mu4mk]

[@crowneplaza007]

i created a cloudfront distribution and it works fine for me , but when i copied the cloudfront url on another browser, i can't see the image . it showing some asci characters. but http is redirecting to https

[@blameitonthe3102]

Hello, what are the steps to get the www.example.com to work when typing in the browser? specifically making the www work. I tried to do a cname with subdomain www and use the endpoint address in properties as the value but it did not work. thank you and amazing video! EDIT: Solution to my own question: I made another bucket called "www.example.com" and did the redirect setting to redirect the request to my example.com bucket

[@niteshkas]

Great Video but how to restrict S3 object direct access as don't want to expose my code but for static website first requirement is to make public readable objects...

[@MehranHosseini-po9eg]

hey, great video. But i have a problem. I have a php contact form for my static website and S3 bucket doesn't recognize my contact.php and even when i put my php tags in html(contact.html) it still doesn't work. How can i solve this problem without using EC2 ?

[@foodieTraveler94]

One question.. the tk website tool has url forwarding that can automatically route to the cloudfront URL. Just want to understand What value is provided Amazon Route 53? (I am not familiar with this service)

[@ritwik7101]

[@bharathreddy5629]

Hey I am not able to select Custom SSL Certificate (22:10 ) and when i do it using Default I am getting Blocked message when i enter the website URL and have to open the website in unsafe mode?

[@mlotfi2005]

If I follow all the tutorial, than delete everything, will I be charged ? , you mention when you created the hosted zone that you will delete it to not be charged, how to delete it ? and should we delete S3 and CloudFront too to not to be charged ? Thanks

[@petesathianathan6548]

is there a way to add AWS WAF on s3 without CDN?

[@collwyr]

Hi, I used the video a long time ago to create an initial website, just to have something there.. recently I've completed what I want my website to actually show, I uploaded the files to the s3 location like normal, with the index.html being updated with all the latest information I've added, however the main website refuses to show the latest information... for example "randomname.co.uk" is showing the outdated index.html file, but "randomname.co.uk/index.html" is showing the most update .html file. I thought it might have been a delay issue or something, but its been over an hour now and the main "randomname.co.uk" is still showing the out of date .html that no longer exists in the s3 bucket.

[@amruthta3935]

I am getting error while accessing the site "This xml,file doesn't appear to have any style information associated with it." Can anyone please help.

[@walkert612]

can wordpress + woocommerce be installed with this?

[@khmermondepost9445]

I can not set up the bucket policy, It is error, "Access denied", so how to fix it

[@ihsaneladlani7790]

You need to assign public Access to the bucket, following these steps: 1. in the permissions tab click on public Access settings 2. click on edit 3. deselect the Block new public bucket policies option 4. save your changes 5. go back to bucket policy and try again.

[@HimalayanNavigator]

Very nicely explained... Thanks

[@hanumanatonu]

www.domain.com does not work. Please help with this

[@santhoshvasu3538]

good video. How to avoid caching issues in both S3 & cloudfront endpoint. Recent files are not reflecting in the site.

[@santhoshvasu3538]

​@@EnlearAcademyI tried above mentioned options. which worked thanks for your response

[@coop8845]

Are you getting an Access Denied error? Due to recent changes in S3. You need to assign Public Access to the bucket, follow the below steps: In the 'permissions' tab click on public Access settings Click "edit" enter image description here Make sure "block new public bucket policies option" is deselected. Click "Save" Go back to bucket policy and try again.

[@umarmughal]

Good video, one question .. can i setup wordpress using same method?

[@atsepa]

Not able to setup cloudfront , saying you are not verified, i dont't know why , i am able to create ec2 instance,s3 but not cloudfront

[@kunalgorlewar6197]

[@msgabhi]

Thanks for this great video. My website is hosted on SiteGround. Can I use AWS CF in this case?. How do I configure it?

[@WilliamGLewis-yt9fw]

How would one update the content of their website?

[@timmykwok4161]

And also I published a new version on it by using a new verification certificate. Then my computer need to remove the history cookies in order to visit the site. I also want to ask how can I fix that problem?

[@shrutibhagat4642]

Can anyone tell me what service I can use when you are not allowed to request for a custom SSL certificate? On that point, what I can do to make my website secure? A beginner needs some guidance. Replay ASAP please :)

[@adityatongar2359]

Hey, I have a question on how to handle failover for this static website . Please let me know if you have some idea or any material as I have an idea to create replicate S3 bucket but I really love this your video so if you have input or material please drop a comment . Thank you!

[@adityatongar2359]

Manoj Fernando Thanks for your reply .I already refer this one but I don’t want to use EC2.I am trying to make two s3 bucket one primary and one replicate do you have any solutions related it .

[@stuchuangmatthews9860]

The tip at around 20:10 to use the correct endpoint URL was key

[@simondllr998]

Exactly. I thought maybe because they suggested a url i thought they knew what they were doing lol

[@AnjaneshBabu]

Well laid out tutorial.Thank you for posting this.

[@jacobjoy8095]

Great video to get started

[@iyleveeranna4134]

The best tutorial I have found so far. I am able to successfully create the website. Do you have any tutorial on the dynamic website using nodeJS? . Thank you :-)

[@ankireddy5483]

can you upload video on this topic please Use nginx to Add Authentication to Any Application

[@luismuzquiz]

What happens if at the end ot the tutorial someone visits the S3 endpoint instead? Will he be redirected to the domain name?

[@quiters89]

Will this work with angular?

[@deemanthakasun4589]

Great one. well explained. Keep it up.

[@mmafightcoach]

Very good tutorial. Thank you very much. If I want adsense on my website, I have to use CORS. Since domains of your S3 bucket and adsense endpoints are different browser will not allow it. You will have it turn on CORS for your S3 bucket. Do you know how to do this? Have you got a tutorial on it?

[@mmafightcoach]

Ah! Thanks Manoj. By the way, what is the best S3 manager software? I was using Cloudberry on Mac, but now I am using Windows10. Thanks for your help.
