 * WPFC is not connecting to my AWS CloudFront CDN.
 * It was today, but some images were not being served, so I unlinked it. Now (today)
   I only get “unknown error” when I try to reconnect. Help!
 * All up-to-date installation, Version 0.8.6.2

 * Here it is:

 * FYI, when I enter the CDN Url in WPFC without [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-error-with-aws-cloudfront/?output_format=md),
   I get this error: cURL error 28
 * Other sites are using identical setups without trouble.
 * Sucuri shows no hacking on my site.
 * Finally, some PHP script from the site is using 25% CPU on my server! I can’t
   figure out which….

 * I looked for that (read one of your earlier replies to someone), so I checked
   first. It is working, all right! I just went to [http://d2k8js1hnpfse5.cloudfront.net/](http://d2k8js1hnpfse5.cloudfront.net/)
   it worked fine.
 * Or, try this:

 * OK, this is weird. I found client had (somehow!) created media entries that weren’t
   real. That is, there were media entries that had URL’s like “my-nice-fish”. They
   were actually parts of hyperlinks (but had no file type, e.g. html or jpg).
    
   I deleted these, and now the site is working.
 * AND, now I’m able to fill in the Cloudfront settings into the “Other CDN Provider”.
 * Perhaps something in the system goes crazy when there are bad media attachments?!?!

 * Now [http://d2k8js1hnpfse5.cloudfront.net/](http://d2k8js1hnpfse5.cloudfront.net/)
   works but it did not use to work when you created the thread.

 * Well, the answer seems to be that the “bad” entries in media were causing all
   kinds of trouble, and once those were removed, everything started to work. I 
   had the cloudfront working, AND wasn’t able to connect to it…until I removed 
   those bad media files.
