Anyone using this - what results / benefits are you finding?



Any issues?




I haven't heard any feedback yet on issues. Basically you'll know it's working if you update your own profile photo and it actually updates within a minute or two instead of 24 hours. Then you'll know it's taking care of purging the cache properly.. I'm using it right now and it's working well but then I'm the author of it so take that with a grain of salt.. everybody's system is different.

I'm having issues.

First I followed http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/articles.html/_/server-resource-management/using-maxcdn-as-a-cdn-for-more-performance-with-minimal-effort-r510

but I'm running into issues. For example I am unable to add http://uploads.blahblah.com/ as the temp URL. I can only add uploads.blahblah.com The error I get is 'http://uploads.blahblah.com/' appears to be a DNS hostname but cannot extract TLD part'

On the mod, I'm not exactly sure the user ID is. I put in the API key but can't find the user ID anywhere unless its the zone id?

I also went ahead with it anyway but of course the files aren't loading.

My forum is also in a subdirectory. Any ideas?




Thanks

To answer your last question, in the "API" settings the user ID is listed as the "API ID". I'll be sure to correct the wording of the API user in the next update. The API ID should be 4-5 numbers..

First you need to be able to get the initial subdomain set up as http://up.blahblah.com/ (that's step 1) Can you do that?

Also, you are going to create TWO pull zones inside of the MaxCDN control panel. The first will be your public pull zone and the second will be your uploads pull zone. If you can at least do that look for the item called "Temporary URL" that is set in the "Summary" tab for your pull zone. You can also enter that URL into the IPS software if you can't get the CNAME records set up correctly.

Bear in mind it also takes DNS a while to propagate, so you may run into problems where it doesn't immediately work but everything is actually set up correctly.

figured out the user ID issue.. that was just me being blind ;)

What I don't get is how the content from /public (where the skin files) gets replicated? I don't see anything in the instructions on that.

After I change the Image URL path, none of the images load. I used firebug and I see that these files don't exist on my cdn.. not sure whats going on.

I know I'm making a mistake but I just can't see any :(

I think I've managed to resolve this but I'm not exactly sure how accurate. The stats on maxcdn seem to indicate its working fine though.

First in the maxcdn integration for the public URL I had to put in "http://public.blahblah.net/forum/public/"

for image URL I put in "http://public.blahblah.net/forum/" and upload URL "http://uploads.blahblah.net/"

I updated avatar and it instantly changed. I used " " to check.

I'm having problems with your app, it stops my shoutbox and status updates from working, you can't enter anything, you can type but when you press enter nothing happens.

I set the images url to: http://public.mysite.netdna-cdn.com

Made a subdomain:

http://public.mysite.com/public2


Added the cname for it:

public.mysite.netdna-cdn.com


I redone my css images to:



I added the api key etc, it just doesn't enter, have you tested it with the shoutbox ?

The shoutbox has two js scripts in the public folder:
shoutbox.ajax
shoutbox

It's probably these that aren't working

Hi Kevin,



I'm trying to add the css and templates and they work fine using a custom mod one of your fans has made but it seems to stop the ajax shoutbox and status updates mods which use javascript. I'm probably better contacting the person who made the mod. Would the gzip function possibly be stopping the ajax from working ?



Regards,


Josh



Hello Josh,



I suspect the ajax updates are not working because of the caching, as the JS file is cached, not updates will be pushed. I suggest you don't use CDN for the Ajax Update file, but it is always a great idea to contact the mod developer for prompt assistance :-)



I tried it again, same issue ajax fast reply, Shoutbox and anything else with ajax doesn't work.
