<p>Hi, I just purchased the Amazon plugin for Joomla and it's not working.</p>
<p>With the field specified AWS Private Key ID - do you mean the AWS "Secret Access Key" associated with the AWS Access Key ID?</p>
<p>Other than perhaps getting that wrong, I don't understand why it wouldn't be working. The AWS key is active, the plug-in is enabled, and I have followed your documentation to specify a book from Amazon but it just shows the code: {amazonWS:itemId=0919985386;country=com} in the published content item as if the plug-in isn't working...</p>
<p>I have Joomla 1.5.15 installed.</p>
<p>Any ideas appreciated...</p> |

<p>Is the plug-in enabled? By default it is disabled in the plug-in manager.</p>
<p>Security and privacy keys are the same thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I bought today and it is working fine</p> |

<p>Thanks yes the plugin is enabled. </p>
<p>If the "AWS Access Key ID" and the "AWS Private Key ID" fields are the same key, then why have two separate fields?</p>
<p>I also uninstalled and reinstalled and still not working...</p> |

<p>The AWS Access Key and the AWS Secret Key are not the same. It sounds as if you have not set the AWS Secret Key correctly.</p>
<p>I think that the confusion may be confused by the fact that when you log into your AWS account and click on 'Security Credentials' the secret key is not visible.</p>
<p>If you look down the page to the heading 'Access Credentials' the AWS Access Key ID is visible, you need to click the 'show' link to reveal the secret key.</p>
<p>I realise that it may not seem very logical to have two access keys, but this is the way that Amazon do it (for historical reasons) and both are necessary.</p>

<p>Also if the previous answer does not help you need to check your PHP configuration.</p>
<p>The value of allow_url_fopen must be set to 'on'.</p>
<p>You can check this in your Joomla admin, go to help->system info->php info, and look down to 'configuration'.</p>
<p>If it is set to 'off' let me know, it is a problem that can be solved.</p>

<p>Thanks very much Boggler - that was the issue: allow_url_fopen was set to off. Changed it to On and it all works now.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p> |
