Rackspace CDN stopped working…

    CDN upload to Rackspace through W3TC on one of my websites stopped working a few days ago. I didn’t change anything about the site, and the ability to upload was lost sometime between normal business hours. I’m guessing this problem has to do with some kind of Rackspace network or API update. Rackspace won’t help with the issue. Just tells me that everything on the server is fine and that the plugin needs to be updated. My website is running W3TC Version:0.9.2.11

    Upload (test or otherwise) only returns: Unexpected result();
    I dug a little bit, and cUrl is returning an error code 6 (CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST).

    Oddly enough, I have another server with Rackspace, accessing the same CDN, with an exact copy of this website from a couple of weeks ago (development server) that is working fine. I’ve already tried copying the plugin & settings over from the dev server, and even resinstalling the plugin on the current site completely without any luck (Just trying to be thorough here…). I’m guessing the Rackspace change (whatever that was) hasn’t hit our dev server yet, but that doesn’t do much for my active server.

    I noticed another post on the forum here from about 2 weeks ago that concerns a similar issue with Rackspace. I’ve also seen this issue pop up frequently over the last three years or so. Seems like it’s business as usual. As this is an issue occurring in the WP Admin area, I’m not going to include my site url.

    Thanks.

    As I understand W3 Total Cache is using the rackspace api v1.0 which connects and views a default datacenter, in my case DFW. Containers and folders created in DFW will work with the current default W3 Total Cache install, but you will not be able to see containers in a different zone.

    W3 Total Cache needs to update their code to use the version 2.0 api. “php-cloudfiles” the version 1.0 api, is depreciated and will be unsuported as of August 1st 2013. https://github.com/rackerlabs/php-cloudfiles

    php-opencloud is the replacement with api v2.0

    for those who want to modify their own code to support api v2.0 visit github and look at some of the samples https://github.com/rackspace/php-opencloud

    Sounds like a job for Superman.

    Frederick, is this conversion already on your docket of things to do? If so, I’ll keep a low profile and just wait this out. 🙂 Thanks.
