I have a static website hosted on S3 which works fine when accessed through my bucket's endpoint. However, when I create a CloudFront distribution and try access it through using the CloudFront domain I keep getting the error below.

d1xu3mknlk0sbd.cloudfront.net Code: NoSuchBucket Message: The specified bucket does not exist BucketName: d1xu3mknlk0sbd.cloudfront.net RequestId: 656B653A2ED5B2B1 HostId: 9etNAX1XEJmbVKUAMylBDz3xEky+7RhAnr9b8HhpkIb9+pkMnn920v/MSAUjr78oyONEUdlba50=

I have set up my CloudFront origin domain name to the s3 url of my static site which works when I type it in the browser so why can't CloudFront find the bucket ...

  • Did you name your bucket actually d1xu3mknlk0sbd.cloudfront.net? Probably not as the name is random. Commented Mar 12, 2021 at 10:37
  • That is my Cloudfront Domain name serving my s3 bucket Commented Mar 12, 2021 at 10:43

    The error message says its bucketname: BucketName: d1xu3mknlk0sbd.cloudfront.net. Can you double check that please? Commented Mar 12, 2021 at 10:51

    No it's not. I configured my origin to my s3 bucket using the dropdown so not sure why it is looking there. I also have another distribution running using the same settings which strangely works .. Commented Mar 12, 2021 at 11:50

Ended up solving this by changing my s3 bucket name from 'sample' to 'www.sample.com' .Strangely CloudFront started resolving the correct bucket name. Why this works remains a mystery ...

It works! some how you need the 'www' included in the bucket name.
to use an S3 bucket as a website, you need the bucket name to be the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the site
