CDN for attachments

Guys,

CDN for attachments is not working as expected

i'm getting this url

Code:

http://static1.under-linux.net/attachments/f105/11048d1272309727t-defeito-das-rbs-serie-450-e-750-rb750g_top_naked_large-jpg

do i need to do anything to make cdn for attachment work ? this is working for everything else.

Thanks,

I forgot to say that i'm using 3.6.0rc1

Hello Marcus ,

Are you sure you correctly defined your CDN as when i visit http://static1.under-linux.net i get 403 error

Mert,

The problem is the content of attachment is a different url


du -ka | head
996 ./4/4/4/4/8/97.attach
1060 ./4/4/4/4/8/96.attach
2060 ./4/4/4/4/8
2064 ./4/4/4/4
4 ./4/4/4/1/8
8 ./4/4/4/1
4 ./4/4/4/3/6/379.thumb
100 ./4/4/4/3/6/392.attach
64 ./4/4/4/3/6/380.attach
4 ./4/4/4/3/6/380.thumb

how vbseo will make files .thumb and .attach work ?

It is correctly listed and things are how it should be. Just make sure the defined subdomain correctly loads your CDN url . Because as i explained you currently your cdn url is giving 403 error.

Mert,

Everything is working for Javascript/css , Images and avatars just for Attachments i have this problem. The problem basically is for ( Javascript/css , Images and avatars) the file name is the same on CDN and vbulletin. But for attachments Vbulletin store files as *.attach and *.thumb so What i need understand is How VBSEO will be able to identify what is the file name on CDN.

if you try download from http://static1.under-linux.net/attac.../4/8/97.attach you will be able to download.

So the problem is what i'm saying to you the url for attachment is wrong.

Can you please create a support ticket and supply login details so we can examine ?

Mert, I just opened case 7738-PGKC-4323 unfortunately i can't give you user/pass to my system but if you explain me how vbseo do the bridge from *.attach and *.thumb to a correct CDN url will be a good help. Also if you know any place this is running just to see and understand may be i can fix the code by myself.

PS i'm really OLD vbseo user (since 2006) and Big Forum customer (+500k) posts

There is nothing special about attachment rewrites. It is same as rest of vBSEO.

Please note that all our customers are within same level. We don't treat any customer different then each other so being a 5 year old customer and 1 day customer doesn't differ. We offer our best to every customer we have.

However it maybe hard to debug things without login information as this is working correct on our side. If you can create temporary login details , it maybe easier for us to assist you.

Mert,

I think you are wrong or we are talking about different things here.

Do you know how vbulletin attachment works right ? So if you know, you know that files uploaded by customers are not saved with correct file name but with extension .thumb for thumbs and .attach for file.

What vbulletin/vbseo do is check at database and point you to download *.thumb/*.attach also including on the header the content type and file name but this is only possible with PHP/mySQL what is not the case for CDN that can't run PHP/MYSQL so i can't have a way to download a file

Code:

http://static1.under-linux.net/attachments/f105/11048d1272309727t-defeito-das-rbs-serie-450-e-750-rb750g_top_naked_large-jpg

since this part of url "f105/11048d1272309727t-defeito-das-rbs-serie-450-e-750-rb750g_top_naked_large-jpg" was created by vbseo and on CDN you will only be able to have "4/4/4/3/6/380.thumb"

Are we on same page or talking about a different CDN attachments ?

As a proof that CDN is working fine for javascript,css, avatars and images you can see links bellow

Code:

http://static1.under-linux.net/customavatars/avatar58397_3.gif
http://static1.under-linux.net/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00004l/main-rollup.css?d=1295361325
http://static1.under-linux.net/clientscript/vbulletin_overlay.js?v=411
http://static1.under-linux.net/images/misc/facebook.gif

An attachment url never references the folders as you describe.

Here's a break down of what happens.

http://static1.under-linux.net/attac...aked_large-jpg
is really a url like
http://static1.under-linux.net/attachment.php?a=11048

The rest of it doesn't really matter in terms of getting the right image to display.

The attachment.php script then parses the ID, does a database look up in its script, and outputs a jpg/etc file with the Header() function.


This seems to throw a 404 on your site and I'm not sure why.

Brian,

In my understand CDN don't support PHP with that I can't use attachment.php on CDN and if was the case I will not be able to connect my Database from CDN.

Can you explain better how VBSEO handles with Attachments on CDN ? it's really not clear to me what I can or can't do with attachments on CDN.
