Problem setting up cloudfront_distribution_config - error when applying config change

[sebasrp]

s3_id: <my id>
s3_secret: <my secret key>
s3_bucket: <bucket name>
max_age:
   "assets/*": 6000
   "*": 300
gzip:

   - .js
   - .xml
   - .md
gzip_zopfli: true
s3_endpoint: eu-west-1

cloudfront_distribution_id: <cloudfront distribution id>
cloudfront_distribution_config:
   default_cache_behavior:
     min_TTL: <%= 60 * 60 * 24 %>
   aliases:
     quantity: 1
     items:
       CNAME: <site url>

output of the command "s3_website cfg apply":

> s3_website cfg apply
Applying the configurations in s3_website.yml on the AWS services ...
Bucket <bucket name> now functions as a website
Bucket <bucket name> is now readable to the whole world

I can´t figure out what is going on. If I comment all the "cloudfront_distribution_config" section, the command "s3_website cfg apply" succeeds.

Your existing CloudFront distribution seems to have a setting that the s3_website cfg apply command cannot handle.

It's difficult to say more about this without detailed information about the settings of your existing CloudFront distribution.

Try removing the cloudfront_distribution_id setting from the s3_config.yml file and then run the cfg apply command again. This will create you a new distribution. You can then point your DNS entry into that distribution.

Please reopen this issue if the problem persists.

When removing the cloudfrount_distribution_id, I receive the following error:

Do you want to deliver your website via CloudFront, the CDN of Amazon? [y/N]
