Issues configuring AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL
evil-toast-nom-nom opened this issue · comments
TL;DR;
When using trying to access a static file, you get an error:
The <your region name> location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.
Set the variable: AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL_STATIC in stead of AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL to comply with this standard. e.g.
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL_STATIC = '"https://s3.<region code>.amazonaws.com"
Usage:
Static files for a Django application.
When using a non us-west-1 region, it seems like the URL isn't being rewritten to comply with this standard.
As a result you will see an error message like the below from S3 when trying to open a static file.
The af-south-1 location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.
<Error>
<Code>IllegalLocationConstraintException</Code>
<Message>The <region code> location constraint is incompatible for the region specific endpoint this request was sent to.</Message>
<RequestId>xxxxx</RequestId>
<HostId>xxxxxx</HostId>
</Error>
According to this question. It seems like you should be able to configure the below setting:
# The full URL to the S3 endpoint. Leave blank to use the default region URL.
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL = ""
Unfortunately it seems like here a suffix is added to the setting to load.
This causes an issue when specifying AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL as directed.
By specifying AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL_STATIC you are able to set the AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL variable properly.
I think this is documented here?
