AWS Having trouble serving files with S3

Question

I happened to create a website and upload it to an Amazon S3? Each time I try to load that website. I have trouble loading it? Whu is it happening?

For example, the stylesheet.css doesn't load correctly. Tt downloads the file instead of loading it as CSS.

Answer 1

Why go to the trouble of EC2 when Amazon S3 will do this for you, and is a LOT easier manage? Just use something like BucketExplorer for upload/download, and you don't need to worry about starting images, making sure they're still running, keeping software versions unto date, paying for idle time, etc.

Also look at Amazon's CloudFront service, which is a CDN for Amazon S3. It may or not be economic for you, but it can greatly improve download times for your users.
