Reset Configuration IS NOT WORKING

Hello @abdelrahman
What does the Reset Configuration button do?
When you click the Create AWS Distribution. button, it checks if the file <yourdomainname>.txt exists in the upload folder.
This stops the plugin from sending a duplicate request to Amazon (which will be declined anyway).
The Reset Configuration button only deletes this file
The CDN setup does not rely on this file.

Have you tried overwriting the Access Key Id and/or Secret Key

It should reset the configuration so I can use access key / secret key,

where’s the .txt file?

I’m stuck here

Thanks for your response!

When you click the Reset Configuration button and refresh the page, it will show the options to add the Access Key Id and/or Secret Key

I tried and nothing happens!, I tried even remove it and install it again, I inspect it and nothing on the console.

There’s any caching in the site even

I disabled cloudfront and access keys from AWS and still nothing !

The txt file is in the upload folder of your website. Can you check if <domainname>/.txt exists there?

Note: Replace the <domainame> with your domain

Yep, It was there, after deleting it, the problem solved
so what exactly stops this file from deleting? after pressing on reset configuration? can u check it? maybe it’s a bug

Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks for the update @abdelrahman

I’ll check why the file didnt get deleted.

Hello @abdelrahman

The Reset Configuration button has been fixed.

Thanks

Hi Lucky,

Sorry to open the case again but I notice after I delete the file and reinstall the plugin again “without” entering the access key, somehow the website still reading the CloudFront!

If I delete the plugin, all works fine, just reinstall the plugin everything goes back somehow it’s still connected even after removing the file!

I entered the access & secret key and reset the configuration but still! the same issue

Another question, Is it safe to leave a text file like this having the codes in uploads/ directory?

It’s open to the public, anyone can guess and open it and take AWS info from it…

I think it’s better if you write a code to change the “name” to something random like code and hide the domain name in the file itself

do u have any information in the DB? After resetting the configuration, the style still using the CloudFront, I have to DELETE the plugin to be sure that CDN is not enabled!

The TXT file already deleted btw after pressing the button but in the “view source” I can still see CloudFront ??

Hello @abdelrahman

No worries, I am happy to help.

The plugin has an option to Disable CDN, use that to disable AWS CDN URLs.
Use Reset if you plan to change the Access ID and Secret Key.

The txt file does not hold any private information, here’s what is in wpadmin.ca.txt file on
https://wpadmin.ca/wp-content/uploads/wpadmin.ca.txt

<div class='alert alert-success'><p>Successfully created Cloudfront Distribution with ID # <awsid>E1IP74ZE6QJ307</awsid><br><b>IMP: Before performing the below mentioned steps</b><ol><li>Confirm that the status of the the <i>CloudFront Distribution</i> is <b>Deployed</b> in AWS Console</li><li>Ensure that you have modified the DNS (If you plan to use cdn.wpadmin.ca)</li></ol><hr><p>In the <U>CDN DOMAIN / CNAME</U> box</p><p>Add <a class=retval href='JavaScript:void(0);'><b>d2e1hefq4yjysd.cloudfront.net</b></a></p><p>OR<p>Add <a class=retval href='JavaScript:void(0);'><B>cdn.wpadmin.ca</B></a><br>[you will have to add a CNAME entry in your DNS pointing <B>cdn.wpadmin.ca</B> to <b><awsdomain>d2e1hefq4yjysd.cloudfront.net</awsdomain></b>]<wpa_notice>Note: <b>d2e1hefq4yjysd.cloudfront.net</b> points to <b>wpadmin.ca</b></wpa_notice></div>

I’ll take your suggestion and hide the file in someway.

The Cloudfront Domain name is stored in the database and the howto explains the steps for different scenarios.
