Bro just casually slipped a 19 min Power Tutorial that sums up everything there majorly is about Hosting sites on AWS. big thanks

It took me longer to deploy a website than it did for me to build it. It would have taken even longer if it weren't for your video. Thank you so much, I hope your pillow is cold on both sides, always ❤

I was able to follow along without issues almost two years later! It's 12-01-23 Wow, this would've been a headache without this video! Thank you!

thanks so much! you were completely right about other tutorials being hung up at that part. you saved me weeks.

I can't even tell you how much you helped me out with this video!! Your work is greatly appreciated, man. Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is probably the best video for this topic, exactly what i needed ❤❤❤❤❤

I was stuck on this for over a week! Thank you so much for this video!

never enjoyed a tutorial that much xD your comments are awesome :"D

super grateful for your help brotha❤

Thank you for this. Extremely helpful. I think you have to manually input your own permission policy now but the video was so helpful. Saved me HOURS and HOURS.

WOW!! You really saved me days of searching this solution that you have shared in the origins tab, even namecheap support team couldn't help get it sorted :) Hats off to you!

Hey, huge thanks for this! Watching some other videos was a total nightmare. Your tutorial actually makes sense. After watching it, I noticed some changes and features on AWS pages, and even though there were still some issues, I managed to figure them out with a bit of extra research and troubleshooting. It's unbelievable how many tutorials are outdated in Aug 2023, but yours is up-to-date, and it's pure gold. Changes only OAI settings in CloudFront. Stay awesome!

Great stuff. I had previously set up AWS hosting for a few static sites but more recently when attempting to do it again I got stuck so this helps a LOT! One thing I noticed is that there is no reference to 'Bucket Policy' - is that redundant? I guess I'll find out soon enough as I'll be using your method shortly with a new domain 🙂

your very funny, I like your content

For anyone having trouble displaying the website, I still had to add NS Records in NameCheap (Advanced DNS) of the domain, you can remember that in kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKGp0dOoj62_ZMo.html you have 4 NS Records, create 4 of those in the Host Records of NameCheap, Type: "NS Record", Host: "www", values: get from your Route 53 record (you can include the .), ttl: automatic After that, you should have no problem

Hi , can you please explain same thing ,if we have to only implement cloudfront in pre-working website DNS on Godaddy already managed hosted in AWS using . Allready using L.B before connecting to EC2 instance for our application.

Hi Chris, thanks so much for this tutorial! You saved me tons of hours with this. Just curious, I have made some changes to the nextjs/react codes, rebuilt, and updated my S3 bucket. However the linked custom domain that I set up previously seems to not respond to the changes I made in the codes. Do I have to delete and redo everything just to update my website? Much appreciated once again!

So you made changes to your code and uploaded the changes to the bucket and are not seeing the results? If that's the case, it might just be propagation timing. Since i'm responding to your comment you made 16 hours ago, has anything happened since? I wouldn't be able to offer much additional help but I hope you sorted it out!

Hi, I figured it out in practice. I was originally attempting to use Namecheap as the registrar, Zoho for the email, and AWS S3 for the hosting with a CloudFront distribution. I failed to figure out how to set this up. However, once I transferred my domain name over to AWS, Route 53, and set up hosting in an S3 bucket with a Cloudfront distribution over HTTPS, I was able to easily set up email for my domain name using AWS Workmail. The tutorials I followed are here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6CnmtaimayZpcY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWeiprNpXc3eg7g.html

just wondering in what situation you would use s3 storage to host instead of amplify?

this was a good video. But WHY is it, that with every AWS tutorial that I follow something is off. Why do I have two different CNAMES instead of you who has two identical names. And at the end stuff is not working for me. No website is showing. Anyway. I still gave the thumb up cause its clearly good stuff.

hi @christopher Phillips I can't create origin. I copied from s3 end point. the error says "The parameter origin ID must be unique." Would you happen to know why I have this error? thanks.

@ChristopherPhillipsDev

7 күн бұрын

I haven't looked at this in awhile (meaning aws material). I don't recall what the origin ID pertains to but the error message suggests it's not a unique identifier (meaning you already have something named exactly as you're trying to create).

I was stuck in namecheap for 2 weeks, since I don't know the value of DNS configuration is the CNAME's name in SSL certificate, that make DNS validation pending for 2 weeks. I read many docs and watch several youtube. Sad to see your video until now.

The error message is providing the answer. Whatever your pasting in is already in use. I suspect there's some very minor detail in the tutorial you're potentially missing. Unfortunately I don't have any direct answers. Maybe try restarting the tutorial and taking it slow to make sure every step is followed?

I tried to disable the deployment in cloudfront to see if I can restore the page. After seeing the error page and then after enabling deployment, the old deleted website files in S3 bucket are still the ones showing. Does cloudfront or Route 53 cache these files somewhere else and cloudfront is deploying it from those cache and not directly fetching from S3 bucket?
