Your setup is like a CDN, but W3 doesn’t know that. So it only allows for files to be loaded from your main URL.
You could use self hosted CDN to change the allowed URLs in the htaccess files. Otherwise please share any console errors you see in your browser’s developer tools.

CDN settings:
FTP hostname: 127.0.0.1
FTP path: public_html/files
Replace site’s hostname with: files.site.com
Test Ftp Server: Test passed
Also w3 can not created minified files in files/cache/minify path ! Here is just create htaccess and index.html
If i un-checked Host attachments and … in general settings in CDN, It will create minified files. But when want to call them, there is a problem. htaccess in cache folder do not allow call. Also w3 try to call them from incorrect path: site.com/cache/minify
Debug minify:
W3 Total Cache error:It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. Please verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess
Unfortunately minification will not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server.
Technical info
.htaccess file contains rules to rewrite url https://files.site.com/cache/minify/653883865w3tc_rewrite_test.css. If handled by plugin, it returns “Minify OK” message.
The plugin made a request to https://files.site.com/cache/minify/653883865w3tc_rewrite_test.css but received:
Array
(
[code] => 200
[message] => OK
)
I talked to the team and we’ve decided to add support for overwritten WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL constant. This should fix your issues in the next release.
Thank you sir. This is a good sound 🙂
Hello @dehkadehwp,
@gidomanders stated this issue will be fixed in the next release. Please close the topic if convenient and mark it as resolved.

Hi,
I just installed today W3 Total Cache plugin (latest version).
The same error URL rewriting is still showing.
SITUATION DESCRIPTION
Default is set Page Cache Method to:
Disc: Enchanced
In this setting following error is shown:
W3 Total Cache error: It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. Please verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess
Unfortunately disk enhanced page caching will not function without custom rewrite rules. Please ask your server administrator for assistance. Also refer to the install page for the rules for your server.
Technical info
.htaccess file contains rules to rewrite url https://www.j-dsgn.nl/w3tc_rewrite_test into https://www.j-dsgn.nl/?w3tc_rewrite_test which, if handled by plugin, return “OK” message.
The plugin made a request to https://www.j-dsgn.nl/w3tc_rewrite_test but received:
404 Not Found
instead of “OK” response.
See screenshot:

When set Page Cache Method to:
Disk: Basic
The error disapears and seems to be solved.
See screenshot:

QUESTION
1A. Plugin fix
Does the latest version plugin contains the fix already?
If answere 1A is: Yes, go to 1B.
1B. Error URL rewriting
There is shown error: URL rewriting is not working, when set Page Cache Method: Disc: Enchanced.
Can you fix this error please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Joris
@joris-van-der-horst your problems are not related to the problems with the directory. But to answer your question, you can use disk enhanced if your server setup allows htaccess and you have mod_rewrite enabled. The error you see shows that your setup does not. To change that, you could contact your hosting provider for help.
