Cloudfront to s3 redirect to subdomain Access denied error

Question

Googling I found Cloudfront to s3 redirect to subdomain giving Access denied error which seems to be same issue.

In my case, I have www.example.com redirect to example.com

The CloudFront origin name selected from list was www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com and I edited to be www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com

But still get error when I visit www.example.com

<Error>
   <Code>AccessDenied</Code>
   <Message>Access Denied</Message>
   <RequestId>xxxxx</RequestId>
   <HostId>yyyyyyyyyyy</HostId>
</Error>

Opening www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com in browser does the redirect properly

Opening

xxxxxxx.cloudfront.net gives same error, so I assume the issue issue is with cloudfront

Answer 1

So. I tried https://www.example.com again just now and it worked. Perhaps just took some time for settings to percolate.
