# CloudFront not working ?

 * Hello,
 * I tried to use AWS CloudFront as CDN.
    Distribution was successfully created,
   distribution test passed successfully. I cleared all caches (also browser side)
   and displayed one of my pages. Images urls are still the same. The domain name
   is not replaced. I tried using the “generic mirror” option, providing the same
   distribution domain name, and mirror test passed successfully. But same result,
   images domain name is not replaced. When I manually replace domain name of an
   image, it’s successfully displayed. The only problem is domain name replacement.
   Could you please help me troubleshoot this ? Thanks a lot.

 * This article should help to setup CloudFront CDN with W3 Total Cache.

 * Hello,
    I actually followed this article to try something else (generic mirror)
   but still not working. Maybe there is something I didn’t understand… Are my already
   existing images supposed to be served by CDN ? I supposed so… When I inspect 
   a post like [this one](http://lecarnetdemma.fr/2016/09/photophore-couleur-automne.html),
   images are still served by the origin domain name, not the CDN. Is it normal ?

 * Ok dumb me.
    Guys don’t be brainless like me. Don’t forget to activate CDN on
   the General Settings panel…
 * Problem solved.
