Bug AWS domain name quesiton and post without an icon bug.

[janklerks]

Hi,

When I'm trying to integrate the CDN, images are hosted as http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com/

I'd like to be able to use cloudfront, which runs off the bucket name: cdn.skyscrapercity.com. is there an easy way to do this?



Second, When a post does not have a post icon, and CDN is enabled, it tries to load: http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com/0. without the cdn, no icon is displayed.

I have no experience running either Amazon AWS or CloudFront - does whatever instructions CloudFront provide not work for you?

Please ensure you've filled out the Show Default Post Icon setting in Thread Display Options (showthread) in vBulletin Options.

I have it up and running fine. The problem is, there's no option to set the domain in vboptimise that I can see. Ideally everything should be served from: http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com not http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com/ .

Please ensure you've filled out the Show Default Post Icon setting in Thread Display Options (showthread) in vBulletin Options.

I'll check this later, I'm sure that's the problem, thanks!

The Bucket URL would be the domain, IIRC.

Is there a place to set the bucket URL? Because by default, when I enable AWS and toggle the CDN online, vboptimise links http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com instead of http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com/

Here, I'll walk you through what I do:

1. select Amazon S3 from the CDN Integration dropdown. Click continue
2. Enter my Access Key, Secret Key, and the bucket name (which is cdn.skyscrapercity.com)
3. Manage assigned styles -> Pick the active styles/themes
4. Sync with CDN (Everything goes fine)
5. Toggle Online

visiting the site, everything appears, except static files are served from http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com instead of http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com

Also, the default post icon. We have nothing filled out for it (as we don't have a default post icon), when turning the CDN online, it comes up as a blank image with just the url: http://cdn.skyscrapercity.com.s3.amazonaws.com/

Do I perhaps need to put a 1-pixel transparent icon in there? or can we prevent this from happening?

You can attempt to edit /dbtech/vboptimise_pro/includes/cdn/amazon_s3/cdn.php and change

return 'http://' . $this->cdn_settings['bucket'] . '.s3.amazonaws.com';

to

return 'http://' . $this->cdn_settings['bucket'];

Please note that I have absolutely zero idea whether this will work for you and we cannot provide support for it if it does not.

I'd say 1x1 px transparent is the way to go, yeah
