Yeah I managed to get the file into the bucket. However I couldn't get the permissions to let it be publicly visible despite working through several tutorials.
I've never used S3 to host a website before so I decided to try this and see if it's really that complicated.
First, I searched for "host static website on S3" and found an AWS docs page with a walkthrough.
Then, I created an S3 bucket through the console. I uploaded a "hello world" index.html file to it.
Then I went to Properties, checked "Use this bucket to host a website" and gave it the name of my index file. When I clicked Save, I had a hosted HTML file that I could navigate to.
I'm struggling to see how it could be simpler than that. What exact problems did you run into?
So this was a while ago and I fully admit it might have been me being stupid.
However when I was doing it I don't think there was a "Use this bucket to host a website" button. Instead you had to give the bucket a special type of permissions which meant anyone could see the contents but no one could write to it. I kept following the guide as closely as I could but I couldn't get it to take.
