aws_cloudfront_distribution: InvalidArgument: The parameter Logging Bucket does not refer to a valid S3 bucket

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @cat-turner as hashicorp/terraform#24962. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

Hi
According to the docs, we need to specify the logging bucket as

myawslogbucket.s3.amazonaws.com

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/cloudfront_distribution.html#logging-config-arguments

AWS is planning to deprecate path style access logs in favor of virtual. I am unable to point to the s3 bucket in any other way. Will we need to update this?

@cat-turner you want something like this:

logging_config {
    include_cookies = false
    bucket = data.aws_s3_bucket.bucket.bucket_domain_name
    prefix = "logs/"
  }

Hey @cat-turner 👋 Thank you for taking the time to file this issue. Given that there's been a few Terraform and AWS Provider releases since you initially filed it, and given the information provided above, can you confirm whether you're still running into this?

I ran into this issue after referencing my bucket from main.tf. It appears the issue was fixed by updating the documentation to include the fqdn s3.amazonaws.com as part of the bucket name which may not be intuitive for someone with a pre-baked module or config.

#....
   logging_config {
    include_cookies = false
    bucket          = "${aws_s3_bucket.cdn-website-logs.id}.s3.amazonaws.com"
    prefix          = "logs/cdn"
#....
  }

I'm using the current AWS provider;

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.31.0"
    }
  }
  required_version = "~> 1.6.5"
  }
}

Thank you @appwebtech ! The documentation is not CLEAR at all :-/. They shall add a note to let users know that .s3.amazonaws.com shall be added at the end of the bucket name.
