CDN not fully working

Question

just finished the CDN set up for our magento store. Some images/css/js files are loaded fine from cdn server. But some cdn versions redirect back to our hosting.

I mean some files can be accessed on cdn - example

http://cdn.domain.com/media/wysiwyg/logo-dark.png

Some redirect, example:

http://cdn.domain.com/skin/frontend/rwd/green/images/media/logo.png

redirects to

http://www.domain.com/skin/frontend/rwd/green/images/media/logo.png

What can be the reason for this?

The bytes by domain shows that about 40% sourced by cdn.domain.com and 55% by domain.com. I guess it's not like it supposed to work?

Here are the settings.

Found the problem. It was caused by htaccess code:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ http://www.domain.com/.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This code supposed to redirect /index.php/ to route. Why does it mess around with cdn.domain.com?

Answer 1

Not sure why it's updating your CDN, but I don't have full access to your server setup.

Try this. It says only rewrite if not on the CDN. Of course, update domain.com in both cases:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^cdn.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ http://www.domain.com/.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I had a similar issue for Magento 2.

In our case we had forgot to add media resource for a custom sub-folder in the media directory. If this isn't done, access isn't allowed from outside the base domain.

You can add additional folders like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <system>
            <media_storage_configuration>
                <allowed_resources>
                    <custom_folder>folder_name</banner_folder>
                </allowed_resources>
            </media_storage_configuration>
        </system>
    </default>
</config>
