Help with defining custom_error_responses

[ppawlowski]

Hello Gents,

I am struggling with defining custom_error_responses using your module. Can you please guide how to create custom error response with values kept in one variable:

"error_code" = 404
"response_code" = 200  
"response_page_path" = "/index.html"

Thank you in advance.

Ok, with the trial-and-error approach I figured it out.
For someone, who will face the same confusion level as I, the module variable should be defined as follows:

custom_error_response = [
    {
      "error_code"          = 500
      "response_code"       = 200
      "response_page_path"  = "/error.html"
    }
]

Multiple error responses should be placed in multiple maps inside the list.

For anyone coming across this issue in future, you need to include the error_caching_min_ttl too:

custom_error_response = [
  {
    "error_caching_min_ttl" = 3600,
    "error_code"            = 500,
    "response_code"         = 500,
    "response_page_path"    = "/error.html",
  },
  {
    "error_caching_min_ttl" = 3600,
    "error_code"            = 404,
    "response_code"         = 404,
    "response_page_path"    = "/404.html",
  },
]

I've deployed these custom response objects to Cloudfront today without issue. Hope that helps! 🙇

Also valid:

custom_error_response {
        error_caching_min_ttl = 86400
        error_code = 404
        response_code = 200
        response_page_path = "/index.html"
 }

  custom_error_response {
        error_caching_min_ttl = 86400
        error_code = 403
        response_code = 200
        response_page_path = "/index.html"
 }

This is the snippet I am using:

custom_error_response {
    error_code            = 404
    response_page_path    = "/error.html"
    #response_code         = 404
    error_caching_min_ttl = 300
  }

So How to I make Terraform display my error.html file instead of a website that has this message:

When response_page_path is set to "/index.html" what would be the path it looks for?
For example if CloudFront request url is https://s3content.test.com/s3folder/s3path.html => would the error file path is: https://cloufront-1.test.com/index.html
