I am encountering a problem with my website. The images added on the backend, are not displaying on the front end.
I believe the issue is with the AWS S3 bucket configuration and its public image access in my Django web application. Despite implementing a bucket policy to allow public read access and configuring my Django settings accordingly, I am still experiencing difficulties with image loading in web browsers.
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "",
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::mybucketname/",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"s3:ExistingObjectTag/public": "yes"
}
}
}
]
}
Problem Description:
The images stored in my S3 bucket are not loading in any web browsers. When I attempt to open an image in a new tab, I receive an "Access Denied" error message.
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
