CDN not working for websites located in subdirectory.

Question

Hi,

I'm running a multisite with the following structure

```
/var/www/example.com/ -> Original Website
/var/www/example.com/en/ ->  Multilanguage website.
```

And when I apply CloudFront's CDN to the original site, it works perfectly.

However, CloudFront doesn't work for the /en website, which is located in a subdirectory.

I created a new distribution, set it up the same as the original website, and added /en to origin path additionally.

Is there something I'm missing? I'd love to get some advice.

Thank you.

Answer

CloudFront supports the root of the origin that your distribution is directed towards, but it doesn't work for subdirectories.

If you want the CloudFront distribution to reach the subdirectory, then you can use Lambda@Edge (Extra charge).
