Hello,

I'm considering using Rackspace's Cloud files service to store my website's images and then use their CDN service to deliver these to my users.

I was wondering how I would go about doing this with CMS Builder... is it just a case of changing the image location paths under General Settings in the admin control panel?

Upload Directory
Upload Folder URL

Any help/advice would be great.

Thank you,
Greg

Hey Greg,

CMS Builder expects a local folder to upload to. Just giving it a remote server path wont work.
If Rackspace supports this - you could mount your cloud drive on your web servers file system. Then CMS Builder will be able to use it as a local drive.

Hope that helps,
Robin
