I recently transferred my website from my previous registrar to AWS. Following the AWS documentation, I have then created a hosted zone on AWS and a bucket on S3, uploaded my files there and changed the A name on AWS to point to it. Finally, I have modified NS, SOA and MX of my old provider to point to AWS and CNAME to point to S3 console. I have waited a week for the changes to take place, however, the site seems to be still hosted with the old registrar. Any change I make in the S3 console do not modify the site, while any changes I make in the file manager on my previous host provider affects immediately the site. What should I do to transfer all my files and can manage my page on AWS?

Many thanks

Davide

  • Can you share the domain name? – Dusan Bajic Dec 15 '16 at 12:34
  • Hi Dusan, the domain name is davidebenedetti.org – Davide Dec 15 '16 at 12:48
  • Your domain name resolves to S3 bucket `www.davidebenedetti.com.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com` but the response from AWS is "The specified bucket does not exist" – Dusan Bajic Dec 15 '16 at 13:23
  • but still, your domain is misconfigured, CNAME is not allowed for the root/apex of the domain. Take a look at these steps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35969976/amazon-aws-route-53-hosted-zone-does-not-work/35970555#35970555 – Dusan Bajic Dec 15 '16 at 13:40
  • Thanks a lot for your help, I followed your instruction and I believe it is pointing to the right direction now, however the server return a 403 error message now, not sure what I did wrong – Davide Dec 15 '16 at 14:08
  • Get a cup of coffee, take a deep breath, and go slowly checking step by step http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html#root-domain-walkthrough-s3-tasks – Dusan Bajic Dec 15 '16 at 14:15
  • Also, it looks like you created hosted zone named `www.davidebenedetti.com` instead of 'davidebenedetti.com'? – Dusan Bajic Dec 15 '16 at 14:16
  • that was so stupid on my part, I did not even notice. Thanks a lot, it works just fine now. – Davide Dec 15 '16 at 14:46
