  1. POSimple image delivery with AWS CloudFront and PHP?
    text
    copied!<p>I just started playing around with Amazon S3 and CloudFront and have managed to create a S3 Bucket and a Distribution on CloudFront.</p> <p>My purpose is to use CloudFront for simple image / css delivery from edge locations - so I'm looking at the most basic of AWS functions.</p> <p>I uploaded some images in the S3 bucket and when I tried accessing the same for testing purpose with <a href="http://xxx.cloudfront.net/image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.cloudfront.net/image.jpg</a> I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Error&gt; &lt;Code&gt;AccessDenied&lt;/Code&gt; &lt;Message&gt;Access Denied&lt;/Message&gt; &lt;RequestId&gt;ABCD1234&lt;/RequestId&gt; &lt;HostId&gt; xxxxx &lt;/HostId&gt; &lt;/Error&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm guessing I need to verify myself before I start delivering the content? I've grabbed the AWS-PHP SDK but then am at a loss as to what to do. All examples provided on the AWS Docs are for more complex functionality... there doesn't seem to be a straight-cut code sample for simple image delivery.</p> <p>Has anyone here set this up before? How did you go about it?</p> <p>My website is written with PHP. </p> <p>Any help will be much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,<br> m^e</p> <h2>UPDATE</h2> <p>The section on <strong>Basic Links</strong> in this <strong><a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/" rel="nofollow">AWS Doc page</a></strong> says that I can access my uploaded resource in the <a href="http://xxx.cloudfront.net/image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.cloudfront.net/image.jpg</a> format.</p> <p>However, when I do that I get that Access Denied XML dump.</p> <p>So I went back to the S3 bucket, right-clicked on the image and clicked Open. It opened up the image in a popup with the following link format:<br> <a href="http://xxx.cloudfront.net/1st-open-house-jan-2011.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=yyy" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.cloudfront.net/1st-open-house-jan-2011.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=yyy</a></p> <p>Whenever I try polling my images in this format (including the AccessKey) it seems to work. Without AccessKey in the URL, nada. </p> <p>Does that mean, I've to include that access key in every single image request throughout my website? Or is there any other means of pre-verifying a request at a single point and then on keep loading images normally, minus the access key in the url?</p>
