I am having the same issue with CDN - Cloudfront turned on. Some javascript is being loaded I believe.

I just turned off NoNumber CDN for Joomla and left the CDN in EasySocial settings and the apps starts to work again.

That's strange. I don't have NoNumber CDN so that's not my issue. Least your issue is fixed!

Hi Sean,

No it's not fixed I turned off NoNumber CDN which is not a fix. I would like to use CDN for Joomla in the future if possible.

Oh. Well lets hope that we get an answer or a fix soon.

Hello Sean,

I am really sorry, I guess we missed this post earlier Anyway when I tried to access the site, it doesn't seem like CDN For Joomla is installed on the site. Can you please advise?

Hi Mark. Just installed CDN for Joomla. Was not aware that it needed to be installed prior. I have even more issues with it enabled than disabled. If it's enabled and I select say, js and css, my css is stripped from the page and none of my javascript works. I tried disabling Client-side CDN and inline option. Still lots of issues.

Hi Mark, I have CDN for joomla installed on my site and I am having the same issue when it's enable. Can you please take a look? Thanks

Hello Robert,

I have just enabled CDN for Joomla on the site and it loads perfectly fine for me. You should consider clearing your browser's cache.

It doesn't work when cdn is set to yes in easysocial backend. I can't click on any ES link

Hello Sean,

I am not too sure how is your current setup like but if you are using CDN for Joomla, what it actually does is to replace all references to CSS / JS files from your site to your CDN's site. You need to understand the basic architecture of a PULL CDN. I am not sure what sort of setup you have on Cloudfront but if you are not on a PULL CDN, then CDN for Joomla wouldn't be for you.

Disregard Mark, all is fine now. My CDN setting was wrong

Hi Mark,

The issue with CDN for Joomla enabled is with the Apps not loading, if you try it in my site everything works fine except for nothing loads in any apps.

Robert, have you tried checking if any of your Apps works?

EDIT: Mark, please disregard, I don't know what happened it seems to be working just fine now. I just enabled CDN for Joomla again and cleared all cache, restarted apache as well.

Thanks,

Jackson

Thanks for updating Jackson Glad that your issues are resolved now.

It's definitely a PULL CDN this is what Amazon CloudFront defaults as PUSH is more complicated to set-up.

I've been messing around with settings for a good while now. I created a new S3 Bucket with all lower cases as from what I've read, uppercase bucket names can sometimes be a problem with CloudFront. That fixed the issue of my bucket not being found. However, now I get Access Denied to all my .css files in CloudFront. I since then created a Policy to allow GetObject access for the selected Bucket and I still get an Access Denied error. I've very lost and confused here. :/

Hello Sean,

I can't really help you out on this because I have never personally used Cloudfront. Perhaps you might want to check this with Cloudfront ?

Hey Mark,

I'll do that after this question if the answer is no. Am I suppose to create the directories in Amazon S3 then manually upload all the files that CloudFront would use ? for example: .js and .css. I found that if I create the directories or just upload a copy of my site to my bucket in Amazon S3, then CDN works fine. Is this how it's suppose to be done? Sounds complicated if so because when a component is updated and say, a .css file changes, wouldn't that possibly mess up my styling because the file is being read from my S3 storage? I'd have to manually find and update all the files stored used for CloudFront.

I'm new to this whole cloud thing, still trying to learn

Basically what I'm asking is, just like the Remote Storage feature in EasySocial, should directories and files for CDN be uploaded automatically to the bucket that CloudFront utilizes or is that suppose to be a manual process?

Also, I just upload a complete copy of my site because it's a pain going through each individual page to see what .js or .css files are being used, then creating a directory for the files then uploading to S3. This just feels way more tedious than it should be?

Hello Sean,

No, you don't really need to do anything manually. Let me just try to simplify this for you.

1. CDN For Joomla - It's responsibilities is to alter any occurence of http://yoursite.com/css/file.css into http://cdn.site.com/css/file.css .

2. With pull CDN's (There are few types of CDN's available but this is a common one), what the CDN provider does is to act like a proxy where it would connect to your site to obtain these css / js files and serve it through their POP servers.

You don't need to manually upload or create anything if you are using a PULL CDN service.

Thanks for the explanation, Mark. For whatever reason, that doesn't happen for me, with Amazon CloudFront. S3 Storage is working fine though.

Hello Sean,

I have never personally used Cloudfront so I am not really sure how the setup is. Have you tried to contact with Amazon Cloudfront yet?

I will do that, Mark. Though, I my just switch to CloudFlare. I'll let you know if I have further issues. Thanks.

Thanks Sean, sorry about that though as I don't have much experience with Cloudflare

I do exactly have the same issue like Jean described in his first post, but I do not understand what he did to solve the issue....
