webp + cloudfront (cdn) error

Hello @futureyoon,

Thanks for your message.

Yes, I tested this configuration. The problem is that by default, the “AllowOverride” parameter is set to “None” in the virtual host settings for Apache.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Enter the Amazon Lightsail panel.
2. Go to the “Instances” tab.
3. Next to your WordPress instance, click “Manage”.
4. Click the “Connect using SSH” button.
5. A terminal window will open.
6. Edit the file using the command:
   nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/wordpress-vhost.conf
7. Find the value “AllowOverride None” and replace it with the value “AllowOverride All”.
8. Exit the file confirming that the changes are saved.
9. Run Apache restart process with command:
   sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

It is also described here.

Did this solution help you?

Best,
Mateusz

Hi

Did you test this after enabling the distribution?
From your screen, it appears that you have not enabled to distribution yet.

Please confirm it after after enabling it. You will see the different behavior after enabling it..

Thank you

@futureyoon I created distribution. The IP address has changed, but the plugin is still working properly.

Hmmm… interesting…

Do you see .htaccess file at the 3 locations? wp-content, wp-content/uploads, wp-content/uploads-webpc ?

I tried to set up a brandnew just now… I don’t see the htaccess files at above location any more… so it should be there or it should not??

can you help yours (that is working on AWS)?
I am out of idea… Please advise.

Thank you

@futureyoon Are you able to create a test environment for me where I could safely find a solution? You will find my e-mail address on my website – I do not want to enter it here.

sent ?? Thank you

@futureyoon Thank you very much for your support. I think I was able to find a solution.

Below is the updated AWS Lightsail configuration guide:

1. Enter the Amazon Lightsail panel.
2. Go to the “Instances” tab.
3. Next to your WordPress instance, click “Manage”.
4. Click the “Connect using SSH” button.
5. A terminal window will open.
6. Edit the file using the command:
   nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/wordpress-vhost.conf
7. Find the value “AllowOverride None” and replace it with the value “AllowOverride All”.
8. Exit the file confirming that the changes are saved.
9. Edit the file using the command:
   nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/wordpress-https-vhost.conf
10. Find the value “AllowOverride None” and replace it with the value “AllowOverride All”.
11. Exit the file confirming that the changes are saved.
12. Run Apache restart process with command:
    sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

Thx for the update. but the issue still persists with the same error… I updated those 2 files and rebooted.. can you help check what else is missing?

@futureyoon It probably has to do with CDN and content caching in CloudFront. The plugin adds the “Cache-Control: private” header, but the CDN probably ignores it.

I do not know to solve this problem. Forgive me, but I can not help you.

Hi

OK. I guess it’s something to do with the distribution setting.
May I know the name/title of the webp cache? so that I can set CDN to accept the value form XXX header that webp is sending?

Thank you

@futureyoon See what the .htaccess file looks like in the /uploads directory. There you will find all the information.
