Follow the directions in Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket to set up your S3 bucket.
Warning:
There can be multiple problems if the bucket name contains a period (.). Instead use a dash (-) for maximum compatibility with S3.
Bucket names are global and they are not scoped to your account. You should choose bucket names that have a good chance of being universally unique. For example:
-
Bad:
test -
Good:
zippy-software-org-test
Note:
Do not use the S3 Management Console to upload your content to S3. Instead, follow any of the procedures described in Load Content into MarkLogic Server after you have completed the configuration procedures.
