Wizard Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 This support request is being escalated to our root admin. @xaav: didn't know if you wanted to look at the files before deleting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbox540 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 these are called Core dump files and Wikipedia says “a core dump consists of the recorded state of the working memory of a computer program at a specific time, generally when the program has terminated abnormally (crashed).” Core dumps are often used to diagnose or debug errors in computer programs."wordpres doesn't create these files but there is a problem on that site. Something is crashing like Apache etc hence the core dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 @xboz540 - Yes, HelioHost has recently been attempting to disable core dumps to fix this as it has been consuming lots of disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Since cPanel did some work on Stevie recently, they seem to be more common now. I'm having to delete them every day. @soerganda: You can go ahead and delete those core files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soerganda Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 what? I'm having to delete them every day too? Is there other solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hopefully djbob or xaav can fix this from happening, but until then you can upload this coredump sweeper script to your site and give it a php extension: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/helio/cordump_sweeper.txt Then add it as an include to one of your files. It will look for ANY files on your site with core in the name and delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sorry about that. Try the link now. I accidently deleted the file when I ran my sweeper script because I named it core with an e insted of cor, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr GRD Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Don't you afraid that some other people may have files named .*core.*, too? ; )I would use more detailed regular expression, ie.: ^core\.[0-9]+$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 @Piotr GRD: Your right and thanks for the suggestion. Fixed with Piotr GRD suggestion:http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/helio/cordump_sweeper.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
