Hi All,

The issue here is that Racksapce rolled over their Certificate for the CDN domain, so it needs to be updated on your individual system.

Details here:
https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/dedicated-hybrid-hosting-forum/8674/rackspace-public-cloud-php-opencloud-sdk-errors-due-to-outdated-certificate-authority-list

Withe W3TC it can be found in the following two locations:

<website-base>/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/SNS/lib/requestcore/cacert.pem
<website-base>/lib/CF/cacert.pem

So download the new cert list and replace those two files, then uploads work correctly again!

No worries Frederick, thanks for the reply.

When I get time I’m going to add a whole bunch of logging to the code and find out exactly why it’s deciding to re-upload all the files.

I’ll let you know what I learn.

Thanks again,
-Dan

Sweet, Thanks very much Frederick.

I wonder if it will be possible to add some more debug code (that can be turned on or off) that writes to php error log when the auto-uploader decides to start uploading files.

It could be really useful to see which files it thinks need to be uploaded and why.

Thanks again,
-Dan

No. I turned that off in an attempt to stop this happening, nothing changed.

Yes.

Running WordPress 3.3.1 and WwTC 0.9.2.4, I still constantly have the problem I described in the first post.
W3TC uploaded over a million files to my CDN in the first few days of Feb when I only have 4000 files in my uploads directory.

I still have no idea why it does this, or what I can do to permanently fix it. For now, I’ve un-selected “auto-upload” which stops it, but also makes the CDN feature of W3TC not so useful.

Thanks,
-Dan

I’m tempted to dig into the WT3C code and put a whole log of logging around how it decides to upload what files to the CDN… I think that would also help your problem.
Maybe a dev will comment here sooner or later.

I was just thinking of a workaround, depending on the structure of your /gallery/ folder you could try something like this…

lets say you have /gallery/1/ and gallery/2/ which you’ve previously manually uploaded. Now you add /gallery/3/ and want to manually upload it too. Make sure you’re custom files list does not show /1 /2 only /3 and try the manual upload.
Maybe it will only upload the new gallery for you and leave the others as they are? Worth a shot.

-Dan

My custom files list says:
favicon.ico
wp-content/gallery/*
wp-content/uploads/*

I honestly don’t know if wp-content/gallery/* works, I don’t have anything there.

When you manually upload a new gallery, does it re-upload all the old ones as well? I thought it would be smart enough to see the files exist and not move them again.

-Dan

jfenico,

I just enabled the logs on CloudFiles, so I’m going to watch them closely once I re-enable auto-upload (I turned it off to stop the massive data transfers)
As for settings, I have “Host Custom Files” and “Export Changed Files Automatically” selected, which have been working well for many months (until my recent problems.)

-Dan

After doing a lot of digging, it seems the tool that W3TC uses to talk to CloudFiles CDN (cloudfiles_http.php) (https://github.com/rackspace/php-cloudfiles/blob/master/cloudfiles_http.php)
Already has this functionality.

Once you set the php variable $_ENV[‘RACKSPACE_SERVICENET’], it will use the service net URL, and all uploads to your CDN will not be charged for bandwidth.

Admins, you can close this issue, but I think it would be good to keep around for anyone else that finds this feature.

-Dan

Hmm, thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, this is still happening on every single image I upload to my site.

Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
-Dan

I just moved my blog to new hosting under an Apache2 completely configured by me, so I assume there is something going on causing this, though I can’t seem to find out exactly what that is…

The plugin wp-missed-schedule worked perfectly for me.

Maybe one day I’ll get to the bottom of it.

-Dan

This plugin is still not working for me, even after updating to 2.8 then 2.9

Subscribe to comments: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/
worked great, I just don’t want people to see huge lists of the comments every time.
I emailed the author and he said he might include functionality like comment-reply-notification in the next version.

I also tried Reply Me
which worked great, but there is no opt-out option so I don’t like it.

I’d love to hear if anyone actually has this plugin working.. ?

Thanks,
-Dan

Anyone have anything?
I tried the advice in the other thread and removed the ‘@’ from the wp_mail() call, but that did nothing.
I’ve also tried a few of the ‘subscribe to comments via email’ type plugins and they work fine, it’s just this one that does not…

anyone?
