Amazon S3 Drupal
The Amazon S3 module allows the drupal local file system to be replaced with S3, where the files can be uploaded or downloaded from S3. I used the following modules to achieve this:
- Amazon S3(module)
- Libraries API
- AWSSDK for PHP(module)
- AWSSDK For PHP(library)
- Note: Verify that the SDK library meets your system requirements. Refer to this: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/guide/latest/requirements.html
Download and install these modules and place SDK library at sites/all/libraries/awssdk.
Check 'Status report' for information about the installation of Amazon S3 and AWSSDK.
Here we go:
- In admin/config/media/amazons3, give your default bucket name which you would have created in S3.
- Enter your "Amazon web services key" and "Amazon web services secret key" which are located in your Account settings at http://aws.amazon.com in admin/config/media/awssdk.
- Change the file system path to "s3://" and set the Default download method to 'Amazon Simple Storage Service' in admin/config/media/file-system.
- Set the Upload destination to "Amazon S3" in the Field settings of your Content-type.
- You can also synchronize your existing files to S3 using the 's3cmd utility'. Refer to this http://knackforge.com/blog/my-experience-s3cmd-utility/ for more details.
