I still can't manage Amazon S3 to work on my site. As I am new with Amazon S3 I thought I am doing something wrong with that account... but later I tried to set up JReviews and Amazon S3 working and it was successful. So I assume - my S3 account is OK, and there is some problems with EasySocial. Maybe there is something about Transfer limit, Storage path - EU Ireland, or Bucket path - I wrote bucket name in there.
Hello Dalia,

Can you also please include the Amazon S3 access as well?

I saw there were some changes in updated versions regarding s3. So what about Bucket path, is there enough to write bucket name? I still can't manage Amazon S3 to work.

Hello Dalia,

Ah, I am really sorry I guess I missed your post here earlier Yep, there's a fix for this on 1.0.8 and this should fix the AWS S3 issues.

With version v1.0.8 my photo uploads still do not appear in Amazon S3 bucket. I can't think of what I am doing wrong (like EU Ireland is not suitable, or Transfer limit 10 Files or something else).

I will provide my details, I would appreciate if you could look into it.

ES's S3 storage doesn't seem to be working for me either, although JReviews S3 storage is working fine. Maybe there's a lingering API issue?

Not me. I disabled after it didn't seem to work correctly for emails, but I'll try again.

Are local files deleted after they are pushed to S3?

Hey guys,

Can you guys setup a separate thread of your own with the access to the site? It's pretty difficult to see different users posting different results and it's pretty difficult to track them

Joh,

Yes, local files are deleted after they are pushed to Amazon S3

Yeee, my issue is solved, Amazon S3 working - quite stupid mistake - just needed to enable secure cronjob url and set key.

Dalia,

Once you set the CRON key, what else do you do with it?

Thanks for updating Dalia but you don't really need to have a secure cron job running to get Amazon S3 to work

After playing a little bit more with ES and S3 I noticed:

- When I upload picture into JReviews, photo is not uploaded into local server, and I see that picture in Amazon S3 immediately.

- When I upload picture into EasySocial, I need to click cron URL http://mysite.lt/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true&phrase=key, then I see 10 files (transfer limit) appearing in S3 bucket, after clicking again - 10 more files appear. That would be good but I also see those files (pictures) appearing in the local server... So I guess I need a little more investigation about this ...

Hello Dalia,

I guess what happens with JReviews is that it actually uploads those images on the fly to Amazon automatically but that would also mean that if you are connecting from an "Asia" server for instance, would take quite a while to upload if you are doing it in batches.
