"www" CNAME not working for S3 bucket

I have a website comprised of a few static pages hosted on an AWS S3 bucket. I added an A record that maps mysite.com to the bucket's address (via an alias). I also want users to be able to access my site via www.mysite.com, but when I add a CNAME mapping www.mysite.com. to mysite.com it does not work. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

The www.mysite.com should be an A record pointing to a separate S3 bucket. If you want users to always go to your www site then you'll put your site files in the www bucket and setup your top-level domain bucket to redirect to www.mysite.com.

The domain name has to match the bucket name. The fix is to create a second bucket with www. in the name, point your www CNAME to that, and configure that bucket to redirect to the other bucket that contains your website.
