# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] – Errors uploading to Cloudfiles CDN

 * I’m having troubles with W3 Total Cache and Cloudfiles CDN. If I manually upload
   files using the W3TC control panel, it seems to work pretty much as expected.
   However, when I log back in later, I virtually ALWAYS have errors from the upload
   queue (automatically detect and upload changed files is turned on). The error
   message is always:
 * `Unexpected response ():`
 * Repeated for every file (dozens, possibly as many as 100, haven’t counted exactly).
 * Number one, I don’t think the files have changed…the manual upload says that 
   all files are up to date. Number two, why would the files upload manually without
   issue, but fail pretty consistently when uploaded via automation?
 * Following up on some google searching on that error message regarding the cloudfiles
   API, I have uninstalled the curl apt package and installed curl-ssl…doesn’t seem
   to make much difference either way.
 * Latest versions as of yesterday of WordPress (3.1.2) and W3TC (0.9.2.1). PHP5
   FCGI on nginx on Debian Lenny…running on a VPS on Rackspace CloudServers. `apt-
   get upgrade` shows everything up-to-date as far as the repos can tell.
 * WordPress and W3TC are impressing the h*ll out of me (really, not a slam at all)…
   this “error” seems to be more of an annoyance at the moment. It does worry me
   a bit that an uploaded file may not get transferred to the CDN. My site isn’t
   THAT high-volume, but it does get worldwide traffic and I want everyone to get
   the same user experience. Google Page Speed Score is 94/100…as soon as Rackspace
   gets the control panel to allow me to get TTL up over 72 hours on the CDN, I 
   should be in great shape.
 * So…help! If there is another mechanism I should use to request assistance, or
   a different place I should do it from, let me know.
 * Sorry for the consumed bandwidth. You may now return to your regularly-scheduled
   program.
 * Scott

 * I eventually upgraded to WP 3.1.3 (and just now 3.1.4) and TC 0.9.2.3 and somewhere
   along the line the problem went away. Sorry to not have a better answer for you.

 * Since the issue of the TTLS on Rackspace still causing some problems for people
   using sites like webpagetest for optimization it’s worth checking out [Rackspace Cloud TTL API](http://www.bybe.net/blog/how-to-fix-rackspace-file-cloud-leverage-browser-caching-via-api-ssh.html),
   you can find out exactly how to set passed Rackspaces control panel limitation
   of TTL 72 hours MAX upto like 50 years using the Rackspace CDN Api and SSH.
