    Hi All,

    I've been having a bit of trouble getting my Amazon S3 into my media sources in MODX. I have searched all over on the forums, but alas, nothing mentioned there works for me.
    I have tried generating new access keys, and even created a new bucket to see if the old one was a permissions issue.

    Currently, my information for my bucket looks like the following:
    URL: http://randykrugerphotography.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/
    Bucket: randykrugerphotography
    and the two access keys (which I will not link on here), but are newly generated.

    My site is https so I was thinking there might be a conflict with http/https since the s3 link is not https. But I cannot seem to figure it out.

    Any suggestions on where I should start looking next?

    Thanks!

    It seems as though the Ohio region does not work. Maybe a MODX bug/issue. If you select any other region, and then fill in the region textarea in the media sources with the appropriate tag (i.e. us-east-2) it functions properly.

    This question has been answered by rgliberty. See the first response.

      try not using the Ohio host (us-east-2), the Virginia (us-east-1) seems to be more reliable.

        Thank you!

        Note:
        - I had problems with the thumbnails, solve it changing the http to https into the UR: https://bucket_name.s3.amazonaws.com/
        - I didn't add any region into the region field.
        - But I use virginia as the bucket Region following the rgliberty's reccomendation
