Hi,

You are already using S3 as your media file storage backend!
Please help

@rudracomputech Consider posting error log. That would help understand the problem.

I think error that @rudracomputech described occurs because s3 storage is enable. Please do following steps and let us know if it helps?

1. php bin/magento s3:storage:disable
2. php bin/magento s3:storage:export
3. php bin/magento s3:storage:enable

If you have correct url in Magento configuration for you media files set, all media should be loaded now from s3.

After week later I don't see point why I cannot export my media files when storage is enabled?
Can anyone explain it to me please?

My catalog product cache All images are not getting uploaded to S3 when i am exporting images to S3.

[n0kit31]

@23ankit are caches in media/catalog directory?

[23ankit]

Yes caches is there in media/catalog directory but when i export images to S3 all the images are not getting exported.

I had the same error message, and it turns out that if you have the extension enabled in your config.php, there is no way to enable/disable it or to export images.

Config:

media_storage_configuration' => [
  'media_storage' => '2',
  ...
]

A few suggestions:

1. Remove the check at https://github.com/thaiphan/magento2-s3/blob/master/Console/Command/StorageExportCommand.php#L111. However, I don't know the implications for that diff, maybe the plugin author could have a better opinion on this.
2. Create a new command called reexport that exports local files even if the extension is already enabled. This would be a safe fix, but might be futile if solution 1 could work.
