# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] CDN replace hostname multiple CNAME's

 * Hello,
 * I’ve just implemented the W3 Total Cache CDN function using Amazon’s cloudfront.
 * However I don’t see all the CNAMES I’ve created being used and a couple of other
   problems so I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong ?
 * In the section;
 * “Replace site’s hostname with”
 * I have the following CDN hostnames configured in W3 Total Cache;
 * 1 cdn.css.mysite.com
    2 cdn.jshead.mysite.com 3 cdn.jsab.mysite.com 4 cdn.jsbb..
   mysite.com 5 cdn.mysite.com
 * My DNS is set to point all the hostnames above to mydomainid.cloudfront.net (
   this could be the problem).
 * I have also entered these CNAME’s into the Amazon cloudfronts distributions CNAME
   list.
 * However, I only ever see cdn.mysite.com being used for all files, CSS, JS etc.
 * I’ve also noticed a couple of problems:
 * 1) The .html plugin (which adds a .html extension to pages) causes the sites 
   pages to stop loading when used with the CDN, the same if I use .html in the 
   permalink structure. I removed this and everything works OK.
 * 2) Some images (some .png used in widgets) refuse to display on the site. I noticed
   that they had not been uploaded to the bucket, but even after a manual upload
   they don’t want to display. When importing attachments to the media library, 
   they are also never included for some reason ?
 * **EDIT** – I’ve fixed the image problem. Looks like it is missing from the media
   library, although the file is till there. I’ve add it again and it now works!!
 * Can somebody put me on the right track ?
 * Thanks,
 * Nic

 * Think I’ve solved it. It seems that the minification settings were reset so its
   not calling any static combined files ?
 * Not that I’ve reset it (not sure why it as reset) different static files are 
   being pulled from different subdomains.
