To clarify things: I am not supporting Google sites or suggesting it should be used instead of DodgerCMS. I just think the barrier to entry is much lower with Google sites.
I'm just getting an 'Access Denied. Please make sure the user attached to the access key has access to [bucket]' error when running local.html from local or the bucket.
This means the IAM user you created does not have the correct permissions to access the buckets you listed on the login page. This could be because of a typo somewhere in the policies, or maybe you entered the names of the buckets incorrectly on the form?
Thanks for the reply - I use static sites on S3 a lot, so pretty confident of the setup. I've also replaced the installation ones with my usual policies (slightly different) and getting the same error. Anything else I can try?
I hate to be that guy, but why do i have to use amazon? Why can't i compile this locally and push it up to github and just host in there, if its a static site?
You don't have to use Amazon, you can use one of the other 800 non-amazon specific static site generators that exist instead of this one. The fact that a tool doesn't accomplish the particular workflow that you would like doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
I dont think meesterdude was implying DodgerCMS shouldn't exist. And I think the question of if it could support GH Pages is not a bad one, in fact I would rather host for free on GH than Amazon as well.
