questions on Maxcdn

Couple questions.

I'm on a dedicated server, will I see a big improvment using maxcdn when on a dedicated server?

Is there any setup instructions other then what is in the vbseo 3.6 gold thread. It seems pretty easy to setup from what I read there. Also what other rules would I need to setup if any.

Thanks

Hello,


Please see

MaxCDN - 3 main things
and
How-To Set up your CDN

which should answer all of your questions.

Thanks for the links. I have everything set up but I can't get the images to display, I disable it for now via the vbseo cp. I'm hoping I have everything set up and the cnames need to be prognated. If this isn't the case how or where would I get support for this?

Thank you

Find the path in your source code that doesn't work when enabled and you can likely see the problem. You may need to add images/ to the end of the url in the vbseoCP.

In the vbseocp I have it set to this, http://images.site.com/forum/

When I goto the example url below, the image shows up. However when I active the cdn by checking them off, Images don't show up on the site.
http://images.site.com/images/misc/navbit-home.png

Could htaccess cause this to not work?

This is in the forum root

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.site\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} forum/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

and this is the main url

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ http://www.site.com/forum/ [L,R=301]

The image url is at,
http://www.site.com/forum/images/misc/navbit-home.png

In the vbseocp i have this set for images,
http://images.site.com/forum/images/

The broken image url is at,
http://images.site.com/forum/images/...avbit-home.png

So it looks like to me I have this much set properly.

Also I made this change after reviewing .htaccess 301 redirects thread.

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.site\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !(^www\.site\.com$|^cdn\.site\.com$)

Where should I be looking next to get this working?
Thanks!

If you're using 'images' as your subdomain, adding 'cdn' to the htaccess won't do a thing. Make sure your exception is for images (and all other subdomains that you are using) in the htaccess rule set.

Sorry, I don't understand how to add these new rules. I'm using images,static and avatars.

Thanks

Edit: I removed cdn and replaced it with images and that didn't work.

Code:

http://images.df.com/forum/

should load your forum home the EXACT same way as

Code:

http://www.df.com/forum/

does, and it does not. It tries to load a forumdisplay page, not forumhome.

Which tells me that your cname was not added correctly, or you set the maxcdn PULL base incorrectly as it's trying to go up a level from where it should be.

Think I got it!! Thanks to you!

In the pullzone settings I had df.com/forum. I removed forum and the images are showing up.

I know images and avatars are working. How do I know if java/css is working with cdn?

In vbseocp I have images set to this path,
http://images.df.com/forum/images/

I have this for javascript/css Is this ok?
http://static.df.com/forum/

Thanks again for help!!

It doesn't appear to be working. same issue, the path is off. You should mimic like you did for images but use 'clientscript' as the folder

Ok i added clientscript. Thank you!

That seems to be working correctly.
