Read Me Clarification - Bucket naming

[coleerikson]

In the setup instructions you have:

"Under Static Website Hosting you can Enable website hosting, to do that first upload a blank index.html file and then enable it."

And I'm looking for a little clarification because I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

I uploaded a blank index.html via the s3 UI to the bucket I created called "website_beta".

Then I went to the bucket properties > static website hosting and entered 'index.html' in the 'Index Document' field and hit the save button but it errors saying: "The specified bucket is not valid."
#1 - Any idea why the bucket is not valid?
#2 - When you say blank index.html file do you mean a skeleton html file or completely empty?

Works without it..

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Strange that your bucket is erroring out like that, did you ask amazon for support? The blank index.html file is just so that you can use the hosting features, amazon requires that, you can fill it up with info if you want to, but I literally just dropped in a 100% blank, no words or batteries included index.html file.

No problem. I didn't reach out to AWS support. I can certainly do so if it sounds like I followed your instructions correctly.
