# Backend Image not working

```

## Cloudflare / Ohter DNS / Load balancers

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: If you are using proxies/external DNS for your domain. For example, if you're behind **Cloudflare** or some kind of load balancer this also applies.
{% endhint %}

You might be getting error in the cloud or the upload just continute to load indefinately, this is because the traffic is proxied. You can set the trusted proxy in the **`TrustProxies`** middleware as per the Laravel docs.

The simplest way is to trust all proxies if you don't know them.

Find the middleware`TrustProxies`and edit the file.\
Path: **app/Http/Middleware/TrustProxies.php**

Modify the line with the $proxies variable as shown below:

```php
protected $proxies = '*';
```

### Livewire asset publishing

If after that the upload is still not working, then you might need to run the command below in your cpanel terminal. Open terminal and change terminal path to the root directory of your backend.

For example, if your backend is in the path as follow: **/home/edentech/public\_html/admin.** Then run the **`cd /home/edentech/public_html/admin`** in terminal on your server panel(aapanel/cpanel etc.)

Then run this command to publish livewire assests.

```bash
php artisan livewire:publish --assets
```
