Error 403: Unable to auto-configure Amazon

I’ve hit a wall trying everything I could find – looked through forums, watched videos went through the Amazon/Cloudfront instructions several times as well and redid the steps but I continuously receive this message:

Unable to auto-configure Amazon® CloudFront Distributions.
Error code: 403. Error Message: Unable to acquire existing Amazon® CloudFront Downloads Distro. Unable to acquire existing Amazon® CloudFront Distro. Forbidden

I have gotten this to work with other sites so I don’t know what is going wrong. The site has been updated to the latest WordPress and S2Member Pro.

I’d be happy to have someone go in and check out what is wrong. Let me know what info you need to resolve this.

Thanks.

Because I am impatient – I dug a little deeper and found a solution in the forums here:

I noticed no matter how many times I changed or updated the fields that once worked I kept getting this message in the Amazon/Cloudfront settings in S2: Your Amazon® CloudFront Distributions are: ( ALREADY configured! )

So I tried the hack found in that post and it worked. Thank you. Too bad there is not an easier way though. I had test settings in there originally and then once my client started their own Amazon S3 account I tried to change to theirs. It really shouldn’t be that hard to change – adding a hack? How about a Reset or Clear button?

Glad you sorted it out. Thanks for the update. :)

Yes, it’d be good to have a button for that. I’ll add it to the feature requests list. Thanks!
