I get this when accessing a different region from the one I used when I created the s3 bucket.

A nicer error message would indeed be appreciated.

[vors]

Same problem. Thank you, @jessereynolds, for clarification!

[eterps]

How does this work, do I understand correctly that an S3 URI is not unique but dependend on the region parameter?

[tylercollier]

I didn't realize my data had a region on it. When I'm using the web console, where it normally shows my region in the top right, it instead shows "Global", and when I click the dropdown it says "S3 does not require region selection." So I didn't realize my data DOES have regions. I found it by viewing the file/dir properties S3. Specifying the region as @jessereynolds suggested fixes it right up. Thanks for that clarification.

I agree with @srivest that a nicer error message would help. When I used --debug, it actually had <Endpoint>[the bucket I was using].s3.amazonaws.com</Endpoint>, which only served to confuse me further, because what I should have been using was correct: s3://[the bucket I was using]/[my path].

Surprised this is still open...

I stumbled on this using aws-cli with the us-east-1 region. s3 commands to buckets in this region fail unless you explicitly specify the region. If you run: aws s3api get-bucket-region --bucket NAME, it'll return null for us-east-1 but not for others. For instance my us-east-1 bucket says:

{
    "LocationConstraint": null
}

but my Singapore bucket says:

{
    "LocationConstraint": "ap-southeast-1"
}

This seems to be the cause of the error as aws-cli seems to depend on this location resolving to something.

Clearly, I can just specify the --region=us-east-1 option to my commands as a work around, but if the s3 namespace is supposed to be global, my having to tell AWS where it is seems strange -- don't they know?

This has been fixed, but it looks like the commit was not linked with this issue. You now get a better error message:

$ aws s3 ls s3://my.bucket/

A client error (PermanentRedirect) occurred when calling the ListObjects operation: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint: my.bucket.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com
You can fix this issue by explicitly providing the correct region location using the --region argument, the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable, or the region variable in the AWS CLI configuration file.  You can get the bucket's location by running "aws s3api get-bucket-location --bucket BUCKET".

I also get the location constraint : null.
This is a still a bug, I just went with us-east-1 and it worked, but if it is a us-standard bucket it seems like there should be an option for --region us-standard
Or something similar, no?

@Xurume

For buckets located in US Standard, the location constraint will be null. For S3, here is the list of region names with their corresponding regions: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region. Notice that the location constraint is none for US Standard.

The CLI uses the values in the region column for the --region parameter. So for S3's US Standard, you need to use us-east-1 as the region.

Undesrtood, thank you!

[zhangruichang]

get error when
aws s3 ls s3://path

how to resolve it ?
