I’m trying to mount S3 bucket to a wowza ec2 instance bought from amazon marketplace, following [this tutorial](https://medium.com/tensult/aws-how-to-mount-s3-bucket-using-iam-role-on-ec2-linux-instance-ad2afd4513ef) or any other. I can’t make

Solved it by installing s3fs-fuse using yum and

```auto
sudo s3fs s3-BucketName /var/www/html/somefolder/ -o passwd_file=/root/.passwd-s3fs -o allow_other,umask=277,uid=500,gid=500,use_cache=/root/cache

```

You get the guid and uid by running id command as a regular user in the terminal. Create cache folder if you intend on using cache. And the other options are needed to give the regular user access to the mounted partition.
