Basic Amazon S3 Setup I'm a total S3 noob but would like to get it set up so that I can store Assets there. So far, I've:


created an AWS account (zing!)
created a bucket named mybucket
created a user in IAM myuser
assigned the AdministratorAccess policy to myuser*
created a new Asset source called s3
entered the user Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, which correctly shows me the mybucket destination
URL Prefix is auto-filled with http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket


OK! When I go to upload a file to the S3 source, I see the upload stripe go all the way across the page and the loading spinner happening at the top right of the page. But this process hangs and the file is never uploaded.

This is a tiny image, so I don't think it's a file size issue. No errors / warnings are produced. I don't see anything obvious in the logs.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I did end up opening a support ticket with Craft- they immediately suggested that this could be caused by a firewall. To which I scoffed! But after talking with some other folks in the office, this seems to be the case.

Unfortunately we never found a firewall solution to this problem. What did work was to assign a static IP to my computer that bypasses the http-proxy packet filter.

So yeah. Firewall. Dang.
