Distribution for Origin not found

    I’m getting this error when I click on the Test S3 Upload and Cloudfront Distribution button:

    Error: Distribution for origin "bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com" not found.

    I have only one distribution, and this is my policy:

    “Effect”: “Allow”,
    “Action”: “cloudfront:ListDistributions”,
    “Resource”: “*”

    What I think is causing it is that the Distribution Origin should be “bucket-name.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com”, but W3 Total Cache is looking for “bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com”, omitting the region.

    Any ideas?

    Hello @cyclissmo

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    Can you please try and create the distribution in W3 Total Cache settings in Performance>CDN?
    Please let me know if this helps!
    Thanks!

    The only option I see available is a button Create as new bucket with distribution and of course when I click that I get Error: Bucket already exists: bucket-name

    I’d rather not have to create a new bucket, is there another way to solve the issue?

    Hello @cyclissmo

    Thank you for your patience.
    You created the bucket using the region bucket-name.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com when W3TC uses the shorter bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com for the default region us-east-1. AWS appears to not honor the alias.

    What you can do is try and recreate the bucket using the short hostname.

    Thanks!

    Thank you, Marko.

    Actually what solved this for me was simply changing the origin in the Cloudfront Distribution setup. I didn’t have to modify the S3 bucket.
