I have a Drupal7 deployment using Cloudfront CDN. The Amazon S3 and AWS modules are installed and configured. When I view the site (using a preprod domain) the CDN cloudfront domain is not visible in the image path just the local domain breaking the link to the images.
Any ideas?
This turned out to be a Network issue
is now fixed
Thanks

So I have my website hosted on an EC2 server running apache. All works fine and well.
The issue I'm having is that I want my images hosted on S3 (and possibly cached on CloudFront), not on my EC2 server, but want both accessible under the same domain/subdomain.
For example say my website is www.helloworld.com. I want my images to be accessible at www.helloworld.com/images/foobar.png. I want foobar.png to be hosted on S3 and not each one of my EC2 servers though. How can I go about doing this?
Is there and configuration I can do in the AWS console or are there any rewrite rules I can use in Apache? I know I could always just set up a controller that will download the images from S3 and forward them to the user, but this seems wrong to me.
For that you need to put a load-balancer/proxy in front to intercept all requests and dispatch accordingly. That may not be a bad idea anyway (for availability reasons), but a separate host name for images should not be a problem, either (it's not like users will have to see or type those URL).
Using CloudFront, you can have CloudFront receive the initial requests, then based on the path, forward the request to either your EC2 instance or to your S3 bucket.
For example, you could setup the following:
A CloudFront behaviour that upon a path under /images/ would use an S3 origin, and
A default (for everything else) would go to your EC2 instance origin.
Currently I'm using Amazon S3 bucket for my website like images.example.com .Today I also built a test subdomain for development purposes and it is served in develop.example.com
Now I want to use Amazon S3 bucket like develop.images.example.com or images.develop.example.com (I don't know which of them is correct)
Is it possible according to S3 restrictions?
Because Amazon says: You must have same bucket name with your subdomain. So I was create a bucket like images.example.com
and my cname record is: images.example.com.s3-website.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
My webserver is Apache and runs on Ubuntu
How can reach to my images on my development subdomain?
Should I create a new cname record?
Should I do something on my virtual host file?
or what?
To share static content from develop.images.example.com:
Create an Amazon S3 bucket called develop.images.example.com
Turn on static website hosting
Create a Route 53 A record for develop.images.example.com with Alias=YES and point it to your S3 bucket
This is the same process as you would have followed for images.example.com.
We have a bunch of images that are loaded on Amazon S3. Right now we directly call these images with the S3 URL. I would like to install Cloudfront CDN and mod_pagespeed to resize these images and optimize them. The web server itself isn't hosted on Amazon at all.
How can I get Cloudfront to cache the mod_pagespeed's resized images? My idea was to spin up an EC2 instance and use it as a reverse proxy to S3. This EC2 instance would have mod_pagespeed installed. So it would go Cloudfront -> EC2 proxy -> S3. So far I haven't been able to get this to resize the images. It all works, just not the mod_pagespeed part.
We're not wanting the images to pulled to the web server out of Amazon as they would waste a lot of bandwidth. I want the images from S3 to be resized either on the new EC2 instance or some other way inside of Amazon.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Take a look at AWS Lambda - there are a number of examples of doing exactly what you're trying to do with it.
I am working on a project where we are hosting our files(only uploaded by the user) in S3 Amazon server. Now the problem is the contents hosted with amazon is loading fastly. But the JS, CSS and CSS images(Very small images) which hosted in our server is taking too much time to load. Is there anyway to host our entire dynamic website to Amazon S3 and is it possible to configure the DNS to amazon?
Host your static files to S3 as well.
Create a bucket named static.yourcompany.com
CName the bucket URL as static.yourcomapany.com
In your webpages, use absolute path for CSS, JS, images with base URL as http://static.yourcompany.com
You may want to leverage tools like JetS3t for syncing the files with the latest changes.

You can also read this blog, the author has described the process in a very detailed manner

For the dynamic part of your website look into http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/ but route 53 is essentially a way to configure DNS to amazon. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html
Is it possible to upload files to amazon S3, using their servers (i.e. my server shouldn't be used in the upload process)?
I also want the URL to appear to be uploading to my server, is this possible?
Look here for instructions on how to setup your CNAME record so that one of your subdomains can be an alias for an Amazon S3 bucket.
Depending on your needs, you might not want "s3.amazonaws.com" to appear on your web site or service. For example, if you host your web site's images on Amazon S3, you might prefer http://images.johnsmith.net/ to http://johnsmith-images.s3.amazonaws.com/
