Resourcespace DAM system - setting external storage as AWS S3
To set up external storage using AWS S3 in ResourceSpace, a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, you can follow these general steps:
Configure AWS S3: Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account to store the files for ResourceSpace. Make sure you have the necessary access credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) with appropriate permissions to read and write to the bucket.
Install and configure ResourceSpace: Install and configure ResourceSpace on your server according to the installation instructions provided by ResourceSpace. This typically involves setting up a web server, PHP, and a database (such as MySQL).
Configure ResourceSpace for S3: Edit the
config.php
file of ResourceSpace to enable and configure the S3 storage. Open theconfig.php
file in a text editor and locate the following section:php# External Storage
#define('S3_STORAGE_ENABLED', false);
#define('S3_STORAGE_URL', ''); // When S3_STORAGE_ENABLED = true
#define('S3_STORAGE_KEY', '');
#define('S3_STORAGE_SECRET', '');
#define('S3_STORAGE_BUCKET', '');
#define('S3_STORAGE_REGION', '');
#define('S3_STORAGE_PATH', '');
#define('S3_STORAGE_SSL', true);
Uncomment the lines by removing the
#
at the beginning of each line, and update the following values:S3_STORAGE_ENABLED
should be set totrue
.S3_STORAGE_URL
should be set to the base URL of your S3 bucket (e.g.,https://s3.amazonaws.com/your-bucket-name/
).S3_STORAGE_KEY
andS3_STORAGE_SECRET
should be set to your AWS access credentials.S3_STORAGE_BUCKET
should be set to the name of your S3 bucket.S3_STORAGE_REGION
should be set to the region where your S3 bucket is located.S3_STORAGE_PATH
should be set to the desired folder path within the bucket (optional).S3_STORAGE_SSL
should be set totrue
if you want to use SSL for communication with S3.
Save the
config.php
file.Test and verify: Restart your web server and verify that ResourceSpace is now using S3 for external storage. Upload files and ensure they are being stored in the S3 bucket rather than locally on the server.
It's important to note that these instructions are general guidelines, and the exact steps may vary depending on your specific ResourceSpace installation and AWS configuration. Consult the ResourceSpace documentation and AWS documentation for more detailed information and troubleshooting steps if needed.
