Configuring Redirection¶
You can redirect all requests for a bucket to another bucket or URL by configuring redirection rules.
Prerequisites¶
Web page files required for static website hosting have been uploaded to the specified bucket.
The static website files hosted in the bucket are accessible to anonymous users.
Static web page files in the Cold storage class have been restored. For more information, see Restoring Objects from the Cold Storage.
Procedure¶
In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate. The Overview page is displayed.
In the Basic Configurations area, click Static Website Hosting. The Static Website Hosting page is displayed.
Alternatively, you can choose Basic Configurations > Static Website Hosting from the navigation pane on the left.
Click Configure Static Website Hosting. The Configure Static Website Hosting dialog box is displayed.
Enable Status.
Set Hosting By to Redirection, as shown in Figure 1. In the text box of Redirect To, enter the bucket's access domain name or URL.
Click OK.
In the bucket list, click the bucket to which requests for the static website are redirected.
(Optional) If the static website files in the bucket are not accessible to anonymous users, perform this step. If they are already accessible to everyone, skip this step.
Grant the read permission for static website files to anonymous users. For details, see Granting Anonymous Users Permission to Access Objects.
If the bucket contains only static website files, configure the Public Read policy for the bucket so that all files in it can be accessed publicly.
Choose Permissions > Bucket Policies.
In the Standard Bucket Policies area, select the Public Read policy for the bucket.
Click Public Read. For details, see Figure 2. In the confirmation dialog box that is displayed, click Yes.
Verification: Input the access domain name of the bucket in the web browser and press Enter. The bucket or URL to which requests are redirected will be displayed.
