[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] CDN Test CloudFront Upload -> "Empty domain"

getting this error to since updating to 3.1 ??

Nobody?

I am encountering the same problem. It worked perfectly fine until recently, just discovered it now =/

Yes, this is kind of a funny issue, I got it resolved though.

You paste your published file store URL without HTTP into the CNAME entry BELOW the .cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com or CNAME: entry. In other words it will look something like this.

| blank text box |.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com
1. cxxxxxx.rx.xxx.rackcdn.com

The URL is located on your RackspaceCloud Dashboard under Hosting > CloudFiles, select the store your CDN data is in and it’s labeled CDN URL.

Do you know if there is an additional URL for Amazon CloudFront, too, which I could try to enter in the CNET field? I had a look at the admin menu, but I couldn’t find anything of the sort.

I tried using

| empty field | .cloudfront.net
1. myaccount.cloudfront.net

The result was that instead of “Empty domain” I got “Error: Unable to list buckets (S3::listBuckets(): [28] connect() timed out!).”

Hmm..I am still getting the “empty domain”.

Nudgymic nudge nudge… searching everywhere, can’t find a fix.

Having the same problem.. Anyone found a solution yet?

Works with S3 but not cloudfront.

I decided to do a CNAME. It works smooth, and looks much better.

Also had to do a CNAME in order to get S3 working again correctly. Even putting the long s3 address in the cname box didn’t help, but as soon as I set-up a cname everything is back to normal.

I can’t use a CNAME and would be very grateful for a patch or workaround.

The most reliable way to do it is to allow W3TC to create the bucket and distribution, then wait a few minutes before activating CDN (check in the management console to make sure the distribution is enabled). Then use the W3TC test button to confirm.
