This tutorial requires at least an intermediate level of knowledge. If you are not at that level or cannot get this to work, please seek assistance from experts.

Requires: phpfox 4.3+

...

In this documentation we will guide you on how to set it up on the same HTTP server.

CDN Server

...

All examples in this tutorial use below information:

• Root path of the phpFox site http://www.example.phpfox.com is /var/www/html/

...

The source code for CDN server can be found in the folder folder /PF.Site/Apps/PHPfox_CDNcore-cdn/server/.
This folder should can be moved to any server you wish as long as anywhere in your server but make sure that it has public HTTP access. The first thing we need to do is rename the file For example, in this tutorial, we will move it to the root folder of the site and rename to cdn:

/var/www/html/cdn

...

Next, we need to update something in there:

• Rename the file phpfox-cdn-setting.php.

...

• new to phpfox-cdn-setting.php.
• Open the

...

• file phpfox-cdn-setting.php.

...

• You will find the following constants.

<?php

define('CDN_FOLDER', './file/');
define('CDN_KEY', '');

The first constant,  CDN_FOLDER is is the path to store the user uploaded files. You can change this. If you do, make sure to create a folder for that location. In this example, you've upload two files into path: "/yoursitepath"; then CDN_FOLDER will be "/yoursitepath/file/" CDN_FOLDER value, but you must be sure about the existence of the new folder.

The next constant is is CDN_KEY.   This is a unique key you create and will be used when you assign this server to the App in your phpFox AdminCP. Remember this key for next step.

...

In this example, we will update the file:

<?php

define('CDN_FOLDER', './file/');
define('CDN_KEY', 'phpFox2017');

Step 2: AdminCP Configurations

Now that we have our CDN server ready. Log into your AdminCP and head on over to to Apps >> phpFox CDN.

Once you have reached the app, click on on NEW SERVER 

You will get a popup with 3 text input fields. The first is Upload is Upload URL. This is the full HTTP path to where the contents of the  /PF.Site/Apps/PHPfox_CDN/server/ is located. So if your phpFox site is located in your root directory the value for this would be of your CDN folder.

With this example, it will be:

http://

...

www.example.phpfox.com/cdn

...

http://

...

www.example.phpfox.com/cdn/file/

...

Hit Submit and you will have added your first CDN server.

For example

You'd like to setup CDN into Sub Folder at : yoursite.com/CDN.

1. Create a folder at /yoursitepath/CDN/ ; ex. /home/yoursite.com/CDN/
2. Upload these two files into /yoursitepath/CDN/ --> CDN_FOLDER is /yoursitepath/CDN
3. Open CDN Application/Servers Setting 
   1. Upload URL will be: http://yoursite.com/CDN
   2. View URL will be: http://yoursite.com/CDN/file/  
   3. Change Secret Key to match with CDN_KEY define in phpfox-cdn-setting.php file

Step 3: Enable CDN

Now that we have updated the CDN server and assigned it to the App we need to enable the CDN feature. On the same page where you manage your CDN servers you will find a link link Settings. Click on that and then click Yes click Yes to enable the service.

There are no limits on how many servers you can add and extending the server code is possible to spread the uploaded files across many locations.
