Amazon s3 how do i use it as a cdn service

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi i have signed up to s3 amazon and have uploaded my images to my bucket but the trouble i am having is, how do i have the images on my site. i have tried to use the url that it is showing but all that is doing is  https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/in2town/audreyrobertslarge.jpg  not bringing up the image on my site and when i have done it through the internet search box it does not bring up an image.

I have been told this is a great cdn service and a cost effective one but i really need to learn how to use it.

has anyone used this service and if so can you please let me know what i need to do

I have now managed to get a bit futher with the help of stuart Bell but the images are still not showing on my site. any help would be great.

many regards

I am reading this and tried it but i must be missing something

If your object is in a folder within your bucket, then the folder must also be included in the URL. For example, if image.jpg was located in your bucket's Images folder, then the URL would be: http://d604721fxaaqy9.cloudfront.net/images/image.jpg.

i have my domain name d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net

and then my image is jenniferanistonlarge.jpg

so i put it together like it says which is d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net/jenniferanistonlarge.jpg   but nothing comes up

if i double click on an image that i was looking at only a few minutes ago in my bucket, i get this

<error>AccessDenied<message>Access Denied</message><requestid>311AC6250EC638CC</requestid><hostid>J0dwp7GCiRcxFd1nrQg6fXnCQxt8/6PgrlGEgXpeBaBFXDm7I8f3bYwd6D0Ciifu</hostid></error>

not sure why because i have loaded the image to my bucket and i doubled clicked it a few minutes ago and it shown it but now brings the above message up.

Yep they need to implement the 1click system to the technical offerings not just books

just been reading the info, it is a great help. i have to say that amazon in my opinion need to make things a bit more clearer.

Hi Diane

S3 is the storage, Cloudfront is the CDN service.  Here is a link to the Cloudfront guide.

Thanks
