Question Amazon S3 Extension

[Rob McDonald]

Ok, upgraded to plesk 17.8.11 and trying to get the Amazon S3 extension to work. It seems to not want to recognize the file path. I have tried everything and it seems to not want to work. What format does it want the file path in?? See attached screenshot for the error message I am getting.

-thanks, Rob

I don't have direct experience with this, but I believe that "path" is just "path inside the bucket" (like, "/", or "/my-backups", or maybe just empty)

P.S.: I hope you'll have changed the IAM secret by now: not much of a secret anymore... Forget this, I'm an idiot...

Sergio, not of these suggestions work. And the field cannot be empty, it is a required field.

Sorry Rob, it was a really long shot... My apologies for wasting your time!

Rob, after all... it was it!

I just made a test (backup just finished and checked it was indeed uploaded) and that "Path" is exactly the folder path within your bucket, with a couple of "quirks":

• The folder name can't be empty nor "/"
  
• The folder must be created beforehand using the AWS console
• Apparently it doesn't matter if you put a leading slash or not

I created a folder named "ams302" (name of my plesk host) in my bucket
put ams302 in "Path" (or even /ams302)

Everything went fine!

Cheers!

One more thing:

Initially I tried to use an IAM identity that has "AmazonS3FullAcces" policy attached to it, but it wasn't accepted.
I had to use an IAM identity with full administrative access to cut through...I don't like that at all.
Probably there is a subset of rights that will be enough, but I have to discover yet...
