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 an Object from Cold Storage.

Procedure

1. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate. The Overview page is displayed.

7. In the bucket list, click the bucket to which requests for the static website are redirected.
8. (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.
