I've tried to redirect the root URL of my S3-hosted website (built in Jekyll, deployed using the s3_website gem), but haven't had any success.
My goal in the following example is to redirect http://www.example.com/ to http://www.example.com/redirect_to_here/ using s3_website's routing features.
Here are two routing rule variations I've tried without any luck:
routing_rules:
- condition:
key_prefix_equals: "" # Empty prefix
redirect:
host_name: www.example.com
replace_key_prefix_with: redirect_to_here/
http_redirect_code: 302
and
routing_rules:
- condition:
key_prefix_equals: /
redirect:
host_name: www.example.com
replace_key_prefix_with: redirect_to_here/
http_redirect_code: 302
Is this possible given S3's redirect implementation? If so, what am I missing?
Rather than resorting to the
routing_rules
and remembering that S3 treats index.html as the root path, the following ended up working. Specifically I usedredirects
rather thanrouting_rules
to achieve this:
