    text
    copied!<p>I am looking into serving my static site with Amazon S3. I have created a bucket and uploaded my files; under the “Website” tab in the AWS Management Console I have checked “Enabled” and entered <code>index.html</code> in the “Index Document” field. I have the following bucket policy:</p> <pre><code>{ "Version": "2008-10-17", "Id": "924a2348-de0e-43aa-bb06-83adbcd1db22", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "PublicReadForGetBucketObjects", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "*" }, "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*" } ] } </code></pre> <p>where I have my bucket’s name instead of <code>my-bucket</code>. Under the “Permissions” tab I have also granted “Everyone” the list ability.</p> <p>If I try to access <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html</code> my page (and its images, CSS, etc.) shows up as expected. However, just going to <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com</code> or <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/</code> gives a directory-listing XML file instead of showing the page. If I try to go to <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/subdirectory</code> I get an error (in XML) saying “The specified key does not exist.” Most bizarrely, if I try to go to <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/subdirectory/</code> (with a trailing slash), no page loads but my browser downloads an empty file named <code>download</code>. (Once again, going to <code>my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/subdirectory/index.html</code> shows the page as expected.)</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong here? How do I get S3 to show the <code>index.html</code> file when a directory name is requested?</p>
 

Querying!
